Frederick P. Jackson, a 30-year-old Black man, was shot and killed inside Brett’s Farmhouse Tavern on Milwaukee’s northwest side during the early hours of Saturday, January 7, 2017. A physical altercation between Jackson and another man escalated after midnight when that man produced a firearm and fired a single shot that struck Jackson. Jackson died at the scene despite attempts to save him. The shooter fled in a dark-colored vehicle with tinted windows.

Investigators identified Jackson’s friend Vernon Nevlis as the suspect. Nevlis was located in Indianapolis, later pleaded guilty to second-degree reckless homicide in May 2017, and received a nine-year prison sentence followed by six years of extended supervision. The tavern’s liquor license was revoked in December 2017 after this shooting and a subsequent shooting.

Did anyone who knew Frederick or was at the tavern that night see what happened or notice the vehicle that left the scene?
