Donte D. Thompson, a 25-year-old Black man, was shot dead in Milwaukee on the evening of April 18, 2016. The shooting happened around 8 p.m. in the 1400 block of North 18th Street and made Donte the city’s 30th homicide victim that year.

Reports say the shooting followed a dispute with his father, 44-year-old Winford Thompson, after Donte asked to borrow his father’s car for a job interview. Witnesses at the scene said Donte was unarmed and not threatening when a single shot was fired; a witness described seeing Winford standing by the driver’s side holding a black handgun. Winford initially drove away but returned shortly after police arrived, spoke to officers, and was arrested at the scene.

Prosecutors were later asked to consider charges, and Winford Thompson was charged with second-degree reckless homicide in Donte’s death. Did anyone in the neighborhood see what happened that night or have information about the argument beforehand?
