On June 16, 2016, 48-year-old Melody Helgren died after being shot in the head at a home near Sherman and Rohr in Milwaukee. When Helgren said she was leaving, Nollie is said to have retrieved a firearm from a dresser, pointed it at her and pulled the trigger. Helgren was found on the bedroom floor and later pronounced dead at a hospital; an autopsy attributed her death to a gunshot wound and ruled it a homicide.

After the shooting, Nollie reportedly called a neighbor and asked her to call 911, appeared intoxicated and expressed remorse, telling the neighbor he didn’t mean to do it and admitting the shooting followed an argument. He later told investigators that retrieving the gun and pointing it at Helgren was a very bad decision. Nollie was arrested, pleaded guilty in September 2016 to second-degree reckless homicide with the use of a dangerous weapon, and in November 2016 was sentenced to 17 years in prison followed by eight years of extended supervision.

Did anyone in the area know Melody or have information about her relationship with Tony Nollie that could shed light on what led to that night?
