Teresa L. Wade, 24, was shot and killed on Sunday, May 28, 2017, after an altercation at a Citgo gas station at Teutonia and Hampton Avenues in Milwaukee. According to prosecutors, the confrontation began when Teresa followed 24-year-old Jasmin Troutman into the station after seeing Troutman driving a vehicle belonging to the father of Teresa’s child. Surveillance footage captured a heated verbal exchange that escalated after Teresa bumped Troutman’s car.

Prosecutors said Troutman retrieved a handgun, approached the driver’s side of Teresa’s vehicle and fired a single shot that struck Teresa in the lower abdomen. Teresa managed to drive away but lost consciousness and was found unresponsive near 35th and Hampton, where she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Troutman was arrested, told investigators she had been dating the child’s father since August while Teresa was pregnant and said she had received threats from Teresa. She was charged with second-degree reckless homicide and second-degree recklessly endangering safety, both with a dangerous weapon, convicted by a jury on both counts and sentenced to seven years in prison plus four years of extended supervision.

Does anyone have additional information about Teresa’s life or who might have witnessed the incident at the gas station?
