On the evening of November 20, 2017, 20-year-old Xavier S. Barfield, a Black man, was shot while driving a blue Infiniti near 51st and Chambers in Milwaukee. A 23-year-old passenger was with him. Witnesses reported the blue Infiniti was pursued by a black Infiniti SUV containing at least three people, and one occupant leaned out of a rear passenger window firing an assault rifle at Barfield’s car. Barfield was struck in the neck and back; his vehicle then collided with a tree and he was pronounced dead at the scene. The passenger survived with injuries.

Investigators recovered about 30 spent casings near the scene and later found the stolen black Infiniti abandoned on the 6300 block of Kaul Street. The vehicle had been wiped down, but police lifted a fingerprint from the exterior of the driver’s side door that they identified as belonging to 20-year-old Jorian Bruce. Officers executed a search warrant at a residence near 39th and Lloyd and took Bruce into custody. Court documents link the shooting to a broader violent feud between rival groups and name at least one other person implicated in the case.

Did anyone in Milwaukee see the vehicles or recall activity near 51st and Chambers that night?
