Daniel Lee Baker, 36, known as Danny and Dbo, was fatally shot on March 7, 2017, in Milwaukee’s 2300 block of South 9th Street after an argument inside the home of his former girlfriend, Desiree Lee Kerner. The dispute involved Kerner’s current boyfriend, Les Paul Henderson, and began when Kerner accused someone of inappropriate behavior and Baker intervened. Baker made a phone call that agitated Henderson, who then produced a .22 caliber handgun and threatened to shoot him.

Kerner’s brother tried to pull Henderson’s arm; the gun discharged and Baker was struck in the abdomen. He was taken to a hospital where he died. Henderson fled the scene and was later arrested and charged with second-degree reckless homicide and possession of a firearm by a felon. Kerner was also arrested after her parole officer detained her for parole-related drug involvement; she was not charged in the homicide. Fingerprints from a beer can at the scene helped identify Henderson. Baker is survived by four children.
