Margaret Guse Cline, 56, was shot to death during a robbery at a south-side Milwaukee jewelry store on Thursday, February 8, 1979. Records list her birth as November 13, 1922, and describe the death as a fatal shooting that occurred while she was working at what later references identify as Sands Gifts & Jewelry at 3968 S. Howell Avenue near Howard Avenue.

Milwaukee Police Department cold-case material states more than one suspect entered the store and that Cline was shot multiple times. After shooting her, the assailants proceeded to rob the business and then escaped.

This remains an unsolved homicide in Milwaukee. If anyone has information about the Sands Gifts & Jewelry robbery or the people who entered the store that day, please share what is known.
