On the evening of October 24, 2004, two Arby’s employees in Milwaukee were shot and killed during an armed robbery. Victims were 17-year-old Alan Paul Lowrie, a junior at Pius XI High School who worked at the restaurant, and 24-year-old Nicole Chartré Joslyn. The crime occurred after closing when two men entered the building with the intent to rob it.

Investigators focused on former Arby’s employee James C. Walker, who had been fired about a week earlier. Prosecutors said Walker enlisted co-worker Michael Reit, who provided Lowrie’s and Joslyn’s timeclock PINs and let Walker into the restaurant after hours. A witness, Juanita Howell, testified about hearing Walker say he had to do it because they knew him. A bloodstain on one of Walker’s shoes contained DNA matching Lowrie, and cash linked to the robbery appeared in Walker’s expenditures. The jury found Walker guilty of armed robbery and two counts of first-degree intentional homicide.

Does anyone have personal memories of Alan or Nicole, or information about that night that could add to the timeline?
