Joshua Drake was 22 and from Milwaukee when he died on the afternoon of August 14, 2014. An armed employee confronted them and an exchange of gunfire followed; Drake was fatally wounded and the employee was not injured.

Investigators from the Fox Point Police Department, the Wisconsin Division of Criminal Investigation, and the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office worked the case. One accomplice, 20-year-old Tedric Sanders, was identified and taken into custody after being treated for a graze wound; the getaway car was involved in a hit-and-run on Interstate 43 during the escape. Sanders was charged in connection with the incident, later pleaded to attempted armed robbery and received a seven-year prison term followed by seven and a half years of extended supervision. Family members said Drake had been on a troubled path, had left home nine months earlier, and had a prior armed robbery conviction from 2010.

Did anyone in the Bayside area see activity around Innovative Optique that afternoon or know more about the people involved?
