On the evening of July 4, 2015, a house party in the 8100 block of West Glen Avenue in Milwaukee ended with 31-year-old Mario Dancer found with a gunshot wound to the head. Neighbors were setting off fireworks at the time. First responders found Dancer with a pulse; an officer and firefighters performed life-saving attempts but he was later pronounced dead at the hospital.

Witness accounts from the chaotic aftermath conflicted about how the shooting happened. Some initially reported a drive-by, but other witnesses described a different scene: a child ran into the house announcing someone had been shot, and a woman yelled that Rod shot him, naming a suspect who was at the gathering. Witnesses said a man identified as Roderick Leblanc entered the house after the gunshot with a pistol, appearing excited and making statements that implicated himself.

Two brothers were charged in connection with events that followed. Roderick Leblanc, 21, was charged with first-degree reckless homicide and an arrest warrant was issued. His brother Dumar Leblanc, 25, was charged with battery and threatening a witness; witnesses said Dumar told people to claim the shooting was a drive-by and allegedly grabbed Dancer’s stepfather by the throat when the stepfather said he would tell the truth.

Did anyone at the party or nearby that night see anything that could clarify what happened?
