Thomas Elliot was a 62-year-old Black man and a well-known professional pool player in Milwaukee, remembered by family as laid-back, kindhearted, a supportive father and grandfather who often dressed in suits and was known as Peter Blue. He had past legal troubles, including a drug-related arrest in 2006 and release in 2012.

On the night of December 7, 2015, after playing cards with friends at his long-time girlfriend’s house on the 4100 block of West Fairmount Avenue, he stepped outside around 11:00 PM and was ambushed by two assailants who shot him multiple times. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Police described the slaying as apparently drug-related and said the attackers had likely been waiting for him because of others’ knowledge of his financial success.

Witnesses gave descriptions of two African American males: one in his early 30s, about 5 feet 7 inches with a medium build, wearing a dark skull cap and dark coat and armed with a handgun; the other about 28–30 years old, around 5 feet 10 inches with a slim build. One suspect was seen entering the rear passenger seat of a white four-door Cadillac with tinted windows that fled. No arrests have been made and investigators say one person who attended the card game and has not been located may have additional information.

Did anyone attend that game or know someone who hasn’t been located who could help investigators?
