On July 22, 2017, 6-year-old Justin Evans Jr. was shot and killed in Milwaukee near 23rd and Finn while at his grandmother’s home. Justin had been getting ready for a family fishing trip to Green Bay and went to say goodbye to his mother when gunfire erupted in the neighborhood. Witnesses reported a man later identified as 35-year-old Robert Anderson running down the street and firing a handgun; about 14 rounds were discharged and one stray bullet struck Justin in the heart. He was taken to a hospital and died of his wounds.

A confidential witness at the scene identified Anderson as the shooter. Two other men were initially arrested but were not charged. In April 2018 Anderson pleaded guilty to second-degree reckless homicide with use of a dangerous weapon and to possession of a firearm by a convicted felon; he was sentenced in May 2018 for Justin’s death.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see or hear something that could add detail about what happened that day?
