Rosalind Ross was 30 when she was shot and killed on September 15, 2010, in the drive-thru of a Popeye’s near 62nd and Silver Spring on Milwaukee’s north side. A former Bradley Tech High School and University of Oklahoma basketball standout who had been drafted by the WNBA’s Los Angeles Sparks, Ross had recently accepted a coaching position at the University of Oklahoma and was planning to move.

Police describe the shooting as domestic violence. Ross was in a vehicle with her long-time partner, Malika Willoughby, when an argument began after a phone call. Willoughby took a gun from Ross’s book bag and shot her. Willoughby was taken into custody and charged with first-degree intentional homicide; she later acknowledged firing the weapon and said she thought she had removed the magazine before pulling the trigger. In August 2011 Willoughby pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of first-degree reckless homicide with use of a deadly weapon, and in December 2011 a judge sentenced her to 13 years in prison followed by seven years of extended supervision.

Did anyone in the community know Rosalind or remember her time playing or coaching basketball?
