Verquell S. Bailey was 18 when he was shot and killed on August 27, 2016, in Milwaukee. Police were called to the 1900 block of West Meinecke Avenue at about 12:45 a.m., and found Bailey on the sidewalk with a gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene and the Milwaukee Police Department opened a homicide investigation.

Authorities publicly identified Bailey as the victim and said they were searching for suspects, but the case file released to the public did not include a stated motive or detailed circumstances of the shooting. As of late 2024 there have been no public announcements of arrests or identified suspects and the investigation remains open.

Does anyone in Milwaukee remember seeing or hearing anything in that neighborhood the night of August 27, 2016, that could help advance this case?
