Dandre Morehouse, 27, was fatally shot on January 25, 2017, inside a home in the 8000 block of West Beechwood Avenue in Milwaukee. He was a father to a seven-year-old son and played point guard for the Milwaukee Area Technical College basketball team; teammates played a scheduled game that night in his honor and won by 20 points. A witness who was with Morehouse described the shooting as sudden and unprovoked.

That witness said he, Morehouse, and 28-year-old Amontre Ross were in a living room when Ross allegedly became paranoid, picked up a handgun, struck Morehouse in the face, and after an initial misfire racked the pistol and shot him repeatedly. The medical examiner reported three gunshot wounds to Morehouse’s back. Police identified Amontre O. Ross as the suspect, located him at St. Joseph’s Hospital on January 27, and arrested him; he was charged with first-degree reckless homicide and held on $200,000 bail.

At a December 2017 competency hearing, a doctor testified Ross was not then competent to proceed but was likely to become competent in the future; the court ordered commitment for treatment with re-examinations every three months. Does anyone have information about Morehouse, the people present that afternoon, or what led up to the shooting?
