On the afternoon of March 9, 2015, a backyard barbecue at a friend’s duplex in the 1700 block of West Mineral Street in Milwaukee ended in gunfire. A 23-year-old man, Rumeal Meatheney, was involved in an argument with 34-year-old Robbie L. Fields. The dispute moved from outside into the home and, at about 4:15 p.m., multiple gunshots were heard. Meatheney, a Black/African American male, was struck in the neck and chest and died.

Witnesses said Fields fled the scene in an SUV after the shooting. Two days later, on March 11, Fields — also known as Chris P. Klean — reportedly approached a Milwaukee Police Department forensic investigator and said he needed to turn himself in, admitting he killed someone and naming Mineral Street as the location. He was taken into custody and charged with first-degree reckless homicide. Some reports indicated Meatheney might not have been the intended target.

If anyone attended that gathering or has information about what led to the argument, please come forward.
