Reginald T. Evans was 21 when he was shot and killed inside a George Webb restaurant on Milwaukee’s east side during a late-December disturbance. Evans, a cook, stepped in during an escalating argument between customers and staff; witnesses say the confrontation began with an exchange of words and the throwing of creamers. During the struggle one customer, identified as Delorean Bryson, drew a gun and fired a single, point-blank shot that struck Evans in the chest and proved fatal.

Police arrested Bryson and charged him with first-degree intentional homicide. At trial Bryson said he had been drinking, carried the gun for self-defense, and intended to shoot at Evans’s arm because he thought Evans was threatening his cousin with a coffee pot; a jury convicted him of first-degree reckless homicide. Three other people were also charged in connection with the incident and were to be tried separately.

Does anyone have information about the night at the restaurant or knew Reginald T. Evans?
