Qwaishuan D. Henning, 19, of Milwaukee was shot about 4:10 p.m. on May 17, 2017, in the 3300 block of N. 38th St. He died of his injuries the following day. Henning had recently been released from prison after serving time for an armed robbery sentence that began in June 2015; in July 2016 a judge converted the remainder of his prison time to extended supervision at the request of the state Department of Corrections.

Family described Henning as a young man trying to navigate life on Milwaukee’s streets; his aunt Rose Henning spoke about the family’s grief and the painful but not entirely surprising nature of his death given the challenges he faced. No arrests have been announced and police were still searching for suspects and a motive. The case was mentioned alongside broader concerns about declining clearance rates for juvenile homicides in Milwaukee.

If anyone knew Qwaishuan, his movements on May 17, 2017, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
