Kenyon Thomas, a 25-year-old Black man, was killed on March 15, 2016, after a family argument in Milwaukee escalated around 11:00 p.m. near 72nd and Florist. Authorities say a physical struggle over a handgun occurred during the dispute and Thomas was shot once. Milwaukee police and fire personnel performed life-saving measures at the scene, but the wound proved fatal and he died there.

A 15-year-old male relative of Thomas remained at the location and was taken into custody; he was awaiting a review of possible charges by the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office. The shooting is described as occurring during a struggle for control of the firearm.
