Lanell Taylor, a 36-year-old Black man, was fatally shot in the early morning hours of September 17, 2017, in Milwaukee near 23rd and State Street. The shooting followed an argument that began inside the Talk of the Town tavern when a person was reportedly refused entry for carrying a firearm. The dispute spilled onto the sidewalk and escalated into a prolonged exchange of gunfire; surveillance footage showed sparks and dozens of shots fired as Taylor walked outside the bar and was struck in the crossfire.

Milwaukee police identified two suspects after receiving a tip from the public: Dennis Simmons and Riccardo Hicks. Hicks was arrested, but the case against him was dismissed in April 2018. In October 2018 Simmons, then 39, pleaded guilty to one count of first-degree reckless endangering safety with the use of a dangerous weapon; a separate charge of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon was dismissed under the plea, and Simmons was taken into custody to await sentencing.

Are there witnesses or anyone who remembers the scene around 23rd and State on the night of September 17, 2017 who can add details?
