Montell D. Gordon, 25, was shot and killed on the north side of Milwaukee shortly after 11 a.m. on May 18, 2018. The shooting occurred in the 3900 block of West Good Hope Road; despite attempts to save him he died of his injuries. Family and friends held a vigil soon after, releasing balloons as they mourned.

Milwaukee police investigated the killing as a homicide and said they identified a suspect, 21-year-old Niyoktron T. Martin, who was charged with felony murder. Martin was arrested on May 21, 2018, in Port Washington on an attempted carjacking charge; officers reported finding blood stains on his trousers that forensic testing matched to both Martin and Montell Gordon. Bail for the charges related to Gordon’s death was set at $150,000.

If anyone knew Montell, was in the area of West Good Hope Road that morning, or has information about the events leading to the robbery and shooting, please come forward.
