Clarence Perkins, a 35-year-old Black man, was shot and killed inside a Milwaukee residence on the evening of October 23, 2018. Police found Perkins in a rear doorway with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to Froedtert Hospital and did not survive.

A witness said Perkins was sitting on a couch when 26-year-old Jody Byrd entered, argued with him and threatened to knock him out before producing a .380 caliber handgun and firing. The witness fled as additional shots were heard. Investigators recovered three fired cartridge casings and two bullets at the scene. GPS data from a monitoring bracelet Byrd was wearing placed him in the immediate vicinity at the time of the shooting.

Byrd was arrested and charged in connection with the killing. If anyone knew Perkins, his routines, or has information about the events that night, please share what was seen or heard.
