On April 23, 2015, 20-year-old Trevon L. Harris was riding as a passenger in a car near Teutonia and Capitol Drive in Milwaukee when a Subaru SUV pulled alongside and at least three gunshots struck the vehicle. Harris was hit multiple times and taken to St. Joseph Hospital, then transferred to Children’s Hospital and later Froedtert Hospital. The wounds left him paralyzed from the neck down; he was discharged to his mother’s home on June 25, 2015, as a quadriplegic.

Harris was readmitted in December for a nerve stimulator implantation, but the device malfunctioned on January 31, 2016, and he was taken back to St. Joseph’s. He died on February 2, 2016; the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide due to complications of the gunshot wounds to his head and neck sustained in April 2015.

Authorities identified 22-year-old David Harris as a suspect and charged him with first-degree reckless homicide after a witness picked him out and investigators linked a possible retaliation motive. The case went to a jury trial beginning March 20, 2017, and the jury acquitted David Harris on March 23, 2017, leaving the killing without a legal resolution. If anyone knew Trevon or has information that could help explain what happened that afternoon, please come forward.
