On January 3, 2017, 18-year-old Stephanie Jones was shot and killed inside her Milwaukee home near 41st and North at about 2:15 a.m. The shooter, identified as 20-year-old Hakeem Tucker, entered the residence through a window. Jones’s mother witnessed Tucker enter her daughter’s bedroom and raised the alarm. A struggle followed between Tucker and Jones’s 54-year-old father; Tucker broke free, shot the father, then shot Stephanie in the chest. She died at the scene despite life-saving efforts.

The mother fled with the child, fearing for everyone’s safety. Witnesses had reported that Tucker had been stalking and threatening Jones prior to the shooting. Two days later police found Tucker in a vehicle near 72nd and Capitol; during his arrest he produced a loaded pistol, pointed it at an officer and challenged them to shoot him before officers disarmed and took him into custody. A jury later convicted Tucker on multiple counts, including first-degree reckless homicide and first-degree reckless injury, and imposed a lengthy prison term.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see unusual activity around the house that night or in the days before the shooting?
