Ronnie McMillon Jr., a 26-year-old Black man, was shot and killed near 38th and Meinecke in Milwaukee on October 15, 2016. The shooting followed a verbal altercation that began over a recently purchased 9mm Glock. McMillon and 26-year-old James Atterberry had been staying with a cousin in Kenosha and had both recently found work there. Atterberry fled the scene in a truck and a cousin who witnessed the shooting later spoke with police.

Atterberry was charged with first-degree reckless homicide; an early April jury trial ended in a mistrial. The charge was later amended to second-degree reckless homicide, and on April 20, 2017 Atterberry pleaded guilty. On May 26, 2017 he was sentenced to 12 years in prison followed by seven years of extended supervision for McMillon’s death.

If anyone knew Ronnie, was present that night, or has information about what led up to the confrontation, please share what is known.
