A family argument over household chores in Milwaukee escalated on the evening of August 18, 2018, and left 21-year-old Jakari Wright dead. Police found Jakari lying on the concrete in front of the apartment building after he had been shot.

Jakari’s father, Randell Wright, told officers he had retrieved a gun during the dispute and that the two wrestled for control, saying the weapon discharged accidentally. The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s autopsy found Jakari was shot from behind, a detail that contradicts a face-to-face struggle and prompted authorities to charge Randell with first-degree reckless homicide. Randell has said he did not intend the outcome and expressed remorse.

Did anyone in the neighborhood or family see what led up to the shooting or notice interactions between Jakari and his father before that night?
