William Bill Thao was a 13-month-old boy from Milwaukee who was killed on December 27, 2014. He was playing with toys in the living room of a relative’s home near 73rd and Mill Road when multiple shots were fired into the house; one bullet struck Bill and he later died at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin.

Investigators say the shooters were aiming for a nearby heroin dealer, Kwesen Sanders, and fired into the wrong house. Darmequaye Cohill was arrested and convicted on charges that included first-degree reckless homicide after prosecutors said Cohill fired 41 rounds into the residence. Sanders initially agreed to cooperate but recanted in court. Cohill was sentenced to 50 years in prison with 25 years of extended supervision.

The conviction has been disputed by some. Former Milwaukee police officer and state drug and gang agent Bodo Gajevic has suggested Steven R. Jordan may have confessed and that Cohill was paid to take the fall, but no new charges against Jordan have been filed. Bill’s death was one of several stray-bullet child fatalities in Milwaukee in 2014.

Did anyone in the Milwaukee area have information about Bill’s life or the shooting that could help clarify what happened?
