On the late night of Saturday, October 26, 2013, 38-year-old Michael Terry was fatally shot near the intersection of North and Hubbard in Milwaukee. Police found Terry on the 2300 block of N. Hubbard Street; initial reports listed no suspects in custody.

Less than a week later a traffic stop on the 2500 block of N. Buffum Street produced a .40 caliber firearm. Forensic testing linked that gun to the homicide: the bullet recovered from Terry and four .40 caliber casings at the scene were fired from the seized weapon. A woman who was with the man arrested in the traffic stop said she and her boyfriend arrived at the shooting scene shortly after it happened and that a man named Drakkar Lobley got into their vehicle, admitting he had been shooting the gun. A juvenile witness at a nearby house party reported seeing Lobley fire shots into the air and then shoot toward a silver vehicle after someone from that car fired at him.

Nineteen-year-old Drakkar Lobley was arrested and charged with first-degree reckless homicide; he later pleaded guilty to an amended charge of second-degree reckless homicide and was sentenced to 14 years in prison followed by six years of extended supervision. Was anyone at the party or in the neighborhood that night able to see what sparked the initial exchange of gunfire?
