Lamar Ragland, 23, was fatally shot in Milwaukee on August 29, 2016, during his grandfather’s funeral procession. Ragland was driving the first car behind the hearse, a bright gold customized Chevy, near 22nd and Keefe when a white SUV pulled alongside and a passenger opened fire. Ragland died and two other occupants of his car were injured. The white SUV was later found abandoned and burned.

Authorities identified Dennis J. Brookshire as the shooter and linked him to the Brothers of the Struggle street gang. A jury found Brookshire guilty of first-degree intentional homicide in January 2017 and he received a life sentence with no extended supervision for 50 years. Ragland’s parents described the immense emotional toll on the family and the need for counseling for many relatives.

Did anyone in the neighborhood or who attended that funeral notice the white SUV or its occupants before the shooting?
