Darrius L. Rose, a 26-year-old Black man, was fatally shot on the morning of October 29, 2017, in a shopping center parking lot in the 6000 block of North Teutonia Avenue in Milwaukee. He was inside a vehicle at about 9:00 a.m. when suspects in another vehicle opened fire; Rose was pronounced dead at the scene and the shooters fled.

Investigators say the fatal shooting was part of a wider violent crime spree tied to rival groups that included other shootings, robberies and drug-related activity. Law enforcement recovered evidence indicating at least 267 rounds were fired across several related incidents. A multi-agency investigation used video surveillance, ballistics, fingerprints and witness testimony to link events.

An 18-year-old, Caleb Virgil, was charged in connection with the fatal shooting of Darrius Rose; a 20-year-old, Davion Pickens, was charged in a separate November 20, 2017, homicide tied to the same series of crimes. Anyone with information about Darrius Rose or the events that morning is asked to come forward.
