Guled Abdulkadir Hirsi, a 20-year-old resident of Green Bay, Wisconsin, was fatally shot on September 11, 2016, inside an apartment complex on Cherry Street. Police tied the killing to a dispute over a heroin deal; Green Bay’s police chief described the altercation as connected to low-level narcotics activity.

Investigators arrested 28-year-old Richard L. McKinney of Milwaukee on September 15, 2016, after Green Bay detectives worked through challenges caused by widespread use of nicknames and witnesses reluctant to cooperate because of their own involvement with drugs. McKinney was charged with Hirsi’s murder on September 23, 2016; prosecutors said he shot Hirsi during a dispute over a heroin transaction.

The case underscores how narcotics disputes can turn deadly and the investigative difficulty when witnesses hesitate to come forward. Did anyone in Green Bay at the time have information about the Cherry Street apartment or the people involved?
