A dispute over a pair of sneakers and a small debt ended in the fatal shooting of 20-year-old Kyle Weary in Milwaukee. On the evening of January 11, 2017, in a neighborhood near 57th and Hadley, Weary was shot in the chest and later pronounced dead; his death was ruled a homicide. Reports say the conflict began after Weary left a pair of $300 Jordan sneakers at the home of 18-year-old acquaintance Decarlos Chambers, who allegedly refused to return them until Weary repaid about $15 for gas. The disagreement reportedly escalated and Chambers allegedly threatened to kill Weary.

Surveillance footage shows Weary firing at a house before running; an individual who had been behind some bushes then emerged and fired at least one shot in Weary’s direction. Responders found Weary unresponsive with a .40 caliber pistol in his hand. Decarlos Chambers was arrested and charged with first-degree reckless homicide as a party to a crime with use of a dangerous weapon, and with possession of a firearm by an adjudicated delinquent of a felony; cash bond was set at $100,000.
