Tamecca A. Perry, 23, was shot and killed in her Milwaukee home on March 6, 2016. Perry, who was nine months pregnant, was struck in the chest during a confrontation with Shanika Minor near 30th and Auer and collapsed inside her residence, dying in front of her two children. The unborn child, due days later, also did not survive.

The dispute reportedly began over loud music a week earlier; Minor came to Perry’s home to settle the argument. Minor’s mother attempted to intervene, but Minor reached past her and fired the fatal shot. Minor fled the scene and remained at large for nearly four months before being captured in Fayetteville, North Carolina, on July 1, 2016.

Minor later pleaded guilty to one count of first-degree reckless homicide and one count of first-degree reckless homicide of an unborn child and was sentenced to 30 years in prison with ten years of extended supervision on August 24, 2017. The case raises questions about how a verbal dispute escalated to deadly gunfire and the impact on Perry’s family and community. Did anyone know Tamecca or have information about the events leading up to that night?
