Riccardo Simms, a 29-year-old Black man, was fatally shot in Madison, Wisconsin, on the evening of Tuesday, July 25, 2017. His death was reported as the city’s eighth homicide that year and occurred amid a summer surge in gun violence that officials described as frighteningly similar across several killings, suggesting victims were specifically targeted.

Police publicly appealed for information after the shooting. The police chief at the time said the recent incidents pointed to victims and assailants who likely knew one another, heightening fear across neighborhoods as Madison confronted a record-tying year for homicides. No suspects or arrests have been publicly disclosed in connection with Simms’s death.
