Willis Brownlee, 39, was killed by gunfire on August 14, 2015, in an alley near 38th and Hadley in Milwaukee. The shooting happened just before 2 p.m.; witnesses described multiple shots fired in quick succession and neighbors later found Brownlee lying on the ground covered in a yellow bag. Two other men were wounded in the same incident.

Milwaukee police treated the scene as connected to another alley shooting that had occurred there days earlier and searched for two suspects. Forensic testing later detected Tyrell S. Tolbert’s DNA on a bag of heroin found along the flight path of the fleeing shooters, evidence that tied Tolbert to the event. Tolbert was charged in relation to the shooting and the case reached the Wisconsin Court of Appeals.

What information do readers from the neighborhood have about activity in that alley around mid-August 2015?
