Peter Thao was 19 when he was shot and killed in Milwaukee on December 26, 2018. His death was one of several fatal shootings in the city during the Christmas holiday period that year, which prompted concern from city leaders about a spike in violence.

The Milwaukee Police Department identified Thao as a homicide victim and had not determined a motive in the immediate aftermath. Investigators were searching for a suspect and the investigation was described as ongoing in the days after the shooting.

Those who knew Peter and anyone with information about the homicide are asked to come forward to assist with the investigation.
