Joseph R. Jenkins, 26, was shot and killed in broad daylight on July 23, 2015, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He was with his fiancée, Jacquel Smith, and their two young daughters, ages eight and three, en route to an ultrasound appointment when the family stopped at a corner store near Buffum and Burleigh. As Jenkins prepared to re-enter a red Pontiac, a passing red car with tinted windows pulled up and an assailant opened fire. At least eleven shots were fired; Jenkins ran, tried to take cover and collapsed outside the convenience store, dying of his wounds while his family witnessed the attack.

Milwaukee police described a suspect as a Black male in his early 20s with shoulder-length dreadlocks seen in the red car. Jenkins is remembered as a loving father who had been awaiting the birth of his third child. If anyone has information about the shooting or the suspect, please come forward.
