On October 1, 2016, 18-year-old Hispanic male Carmelo Silva Jr. was shot and killed near 24th and Becher Street in Milwaukee during what has been described as a planned marijuana transaction that turned into an armed robbery. Silva and another man had picked up 21-year-old Treneel Bankston to complete the sale at a nearby residence. Authorities say Bankston produced a handgun and attempted to rob the pair; a struggle over the gun followed and it discharged multiple times.

Silva was struck and ran from the home, collapsing at a nearby store, South Avenue Foods, where he died despite life-saving efforts. The other man involved was also shot in the face and shoulder but survived. Carmelo Silva Sr., the victim’s father, came to the home after hearing gunfire, grabbed a sword and in the melee stabbed Bankston in the abdomen and was struck over the eye. Police found Bankston about three blocks away, bleeding from a serious abdominal wound; he was taken into custody and charged with felony murder and pleaded not guilty.

Does anyone have information about the people involved or the events that night?
