On the evening of April 21, 2014, Willie Shankle, 34, was inside a Milwaukee apartment near 42nd and Villard with his girlfriend, Leslie McCloud, and a friend, 32-year-old Darius Parker, when a young man McCloud did not recognize arrived to sell a handgun. The handgun was passed around for inspection. According to accounts, the seller, later identified as 18-year-old Richard W. Littlejohn Jr., removed the .22-caliber handgun under the pretense of checking the safety, disengaged the safety and fired multiple shots into Shankle. Littlejohn then followed Parker into a back bedroom and shot him as well. Littlejohn stole money from Shankle’s pocket and fled; both victims were pronounced dead at the scene when police arrived around 8 p.m.

Charges were filed in August 2014. Littlejohn was charged with two counts of first-degree intentional homicide. An alleged accomplice, 60-year-old Kenneth Lyle Wright, was charged with harboring and aiding a felon; Wright told investigators he had given Littlejohn a ride that day, heard Littlejohn express an intention to commit a robbery, and drove him away from the scene after the shootings. At trial McCloud identified Littlejohn in a lineup and in court, and Wright testified for the prosecution. A jury found Richard W.

Did anyone in the neighborhood around 42nd and Villard remember seeing the car used to leave the scene or anyone matching the visitor’s description that night?
