On January 2, 2015, Michael Taylor, a 26-year-old Black man, was found shot to death inside a residence near North Richards and East Burleigh in Milwaukee. He and 24-year-old Jeffrey White were discovered together after police determined shots had been fired into the home, making their deaths the city’s first homicides of 2015.

Family members described deep shock and grief. Michael Taylor’s uncle, Louis Buckner, said the loss reopened old wounds for the family, noting he had previously lost his own son to violence. Police identified and detained a 34-year-old Milwaukee man as a person of interest after he arrived at a local hospital with gunshot wounds; he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries while under police guard.

Reports do not provide the suspect’s name, the charges he faced, or how the case was ultimately resolved.
