Thadd Barksdale, 31, was found dead June 4, 2016, in an alley near 21st and Atkinson on Milwaukee’s north side. His body was inside a trash container; a close friend, Diamond Webb, was found shot multiple times in a parked car nearby. Both men had been shot several times.

A man who discovered Barksdale in the garbage cart placed a 911 call that brought police to the scene; officers then located Webb in the vehicle. Families described the two men as inseparable and said they did not deserve such a fate. Motive remains unclear and, as of the latest available update, no arrests have been announced. A community vigil was held for the two men.

Anyone who knew Thadd Barksdale or Diamond Webb, or who has information about the killings near 21st and Atkinson on June 4, 2016, is asked to contact the Milwaukee Police Department.
