Alfonzie Cockroft was 32 when he was killed in Milwaukee on May 12, 2018. He was found slumped over in the driver’s seat of an SUV near Palmetto and Grantosa with multiple gunshot wounds, including one to the chest and one to the abdomen; the medical examiner ruled the death a homicide.

Investigators say the shooting occurred during an alleged drug transaction. Cockroft had been meeting Larry Benford and Deshawn Moore, both 21 at the time, to sell a half-pound of marijuana. Cockroft was fatally shot and both Benford and Moore were injured.

Both Benford and Moore were charged with felony murder. Moore pleaded guilty to one count of felony murder on February 1, 2019, and was scheduled for sentencing on April 5, 2019; Benford also faced felony bail jumping tied to an earlier marijuana charge for which he had been out on bail.

If anyone has information about the shooting or the events that led up to it, please share what is known.
