Tremayne Vaughn was 24 when he was killed by gun violence in Racine, Wisconsin, on December 29, 2000. Known to family and friends as Bumper, his mother said he was trying to get his life together before his sudden death. Investigators later found his missing truck in Milwaukee, a fact that suggested the case might involve movement beyond Racine but did not produce a clear lead.

Early investigative efforts produced few firm leads. In a separate 2006 case, a witness named Grandberry tried to implicate Xavier J. Rockette in Vaughn’s murder, but police reports show that by March 2003 some of Grandberry’s statements about the homicide had been determined to be untrue. No arrests or publicly named suspects have been announced, and the homicide remains unsolved.

If anyone knew Tremayne, saw his truck in late December 2000, or has information that could help the family, please come forward.
