On October 28, 2017, 18-year-old Jakeem Sims was shot and killed in Milwaukee during what had been arranged as a marijuana sale. Sims drove with three others to meet two men near 19th and Eggert. As Sims pulled into an alley, two men approached the vehicle; one, identified later as 17-year-old Demonte Fischer-Hamilton, produced a pistol and demanded property. Sims attempted to drive away and was struck by a single gunshot to the head. The car then crashed into a tree; passengers escaped but Sims was pronounced dead after being taken to hospital. Police recovered a phone from the vehicle and used a social media account linked to the transaction to identify and arrest Fischer-Hamilton on November 3, 2017. He was charged in connection with Sims’s death and later tried; a jury convicted him of first-degree reckless homicide and he received a 34-year sentence with restitution ordered to cover funeral costs.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see the meeting near 19th and Eggert that afternoon or know more about the people involved?
