On the night of July 20, 2014, 33-year-old Vincent Fayne was shot and killed outside Rickey’s Strip Club near 26th and State Street in Milwaukee. Fayne, described as wearing flashy clothing and a noticeable amount of jewelry, was confronted as the club closed around 2:15 a.m. According to statements attributed to the defendant, a 25-year-old patron, the defendant saw Fayne as an easy robbery target, obtained a gun and chased him outside. Fayne was struck six times — five wounds to the back and one to the side — and was left on the sidewalk after the theft of his phone and a ring; he later died at a hospital.

Investigators identified the defendant after a woman and another witness separately picked him out in photo arrays, and surveillance video captured the chase, the shooting and the taking of property. The defendant was arrested and charged with first-degree intentional homicide, robbery with use of a dangerous weapon, and possession of a firearm by a felon. At trial he pleaded guilty to the firearm count; a jury convicted him of first-degree intentional homicide and robbery with use of force, and a judge later imposed a life sentence with 56 years before eligibility for extended supervision.

Does anyone have further details about Fayne’s life or was present in that area that night?
