A confrontation on a Milwaukee street in early 2016 ended with the death of 40-year-old Michael Schafrik. On the afternoon of January 5, near 10th Street and Lincoln Avenue, a verbal argument that involved Schafrik and his stepson escalated into a physical struggle. Schafrik, who was armed with a handgun, became involved in a fight with a 14-year-old boy. During the struggle the gun discharged; Schafrik suffered a mortal wound and the teenager was also shot in the thigh. Officers arrived about 4:30 p.m.

Three people were initially taken into custody: the 14-year-old who had been struggling with Schafrik, another 14-year-old, and a 33-year-old woman. After review, the Milwaukee County District Attorney concluded the 14-year-old acted in self-defense and declined to file charges against him or the other two. The death was ruled a justifiable homicide.

Does anyone have information about the events around 10th and Lincoln that afternoon or knew Michael Schafrik and the people involved?
