On New Year’s Eve 2013 in Milwaukee, 36-year-old Fernando Winters was fatally shot during an attempted robbery after collecting $50 at a motel on Appleton Avenue. Winters had been at the motel with Eric L. Hill, 45, and Hill’s son, Deonte L. Hill, 25, to collect money from a woman.

After the woman paid Winters, Eric Hill allegedly decided to take Winters’ money, told his son to park the family’s gold Mercedes on a side street, and confronted Winters carrying the son’s gun. When Winters tried to push the gun away, he was shot multiple times, struck twice, and later died of his wounds; the $50 and the payer’s contact information were found on his person and used in the investigation. Eric and Deonte Hill were arrested; Eric Hill faced first-degree intentional homicide and attempted armed robbery charges while Deonte Hill faced felony murder, bail jumping, and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Eric Hill was later convicted and sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of extended supervision after 32 years.

Is there anyone who knew Winters or was at that motel that night who can add detail to the timeline?
