On the evening of April 21, 2014, police responded to gunfire at an apartment in the 5200 block of N. 42nd St. in Milwaukee and found two men dead at the scene. Thirty-two-year-old Darius Parker and 34-year-old Willie J. Shankle had both sustained multiple gunshot wounds and were pronounced dead there.

The initial investigation yielded no immediate motive or suspects, but within days a 17-year-old was taken into custody in connection with the shootings. By August 2014 court paperwork charged 18-year-old Richard Littlejohn of Milwaukee with two counts of first-degree intentional homicide as a party to a crime. The criminal complaint alleges Littlejohn went to the apartment intending to buy a gun from Shankle, produced a .22-caliber handgun from his backpack and shot Shankle, then shot at Parker as Parker tried to flee to a back bedroom. Kenneth Wright was later charged with harboring a felon; Wright told police the motive was robbery.

Does anyone have information about the April 21, 2014 shooting or knew Darius Parker?
