Quadir Black, 25, was killed in a double shooting near 25th and Medford on Milwaukee’s north side in the early morning hours of February 28, 2019. Police say both he and another 25-year-old man were shot about 2:45 a.m.; Black died at the scene and the other man suffered non-life-threatening injuries. The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner identified Black as the deceased, and investigators were seen collecting evidence outside the home where the shooting occurred.

The Milwaukee Police Department took a person into custody after the shooting while the investigation continued. The Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office later ruled the double shooting justifiable, concluding the incident was an act of self-defense. Black’s family, including his mother Myrtle Black, described him as someone who had struggled but was trying to improve his life and called for an end to gun violence.
