Clinton E. Washington, a 34-year-old Black man and father of four, was found dead inside a trash can in the 2400 block of N. Holton Street in Milwaukee on the evening of October 20, 2016. His body was discovered about 6:30 p.m., and the Milwaukee Police Department opened a homicide investigation after determining he had been fatally shot.

Investigators identified several suspects and made arrests in connection with the case. Detectives later said the person responsible was likely someone Washington knew. The garbage can placement was treated as potentially significant, possibly a message. After the killing, Washington’s home was burglarized and his car was found abandoned on the city’s northwest side. In December 2020 police released a video showing a vehicle of interest as new evidence.

Did anyone in the Milwaukee area know Clinton, his movements that night, or recognize the vehicle in the 2020 video?
