Fatal shooting on Milwaukee's northwest side; 2 men accused, charged

Two men are accused in the fatal shooting of a man on Milwaukee's northwest side on Sunday, Dec. 21.

The backstory:

Eduin George, 20, and Jose Talavera-Quezada, 21, were previously charged with first-degree intentional homicide and armed burglary. The charges against all three men are filed "as a party to a crime."

George is also charged with felony bail jumping. Court records show he has two open cases in Wisconsin, including one for child sexual assault.

Court records show Rios-Garcia was previously convicted of misdemeanor hit-and-run in Waukesha County. He was sentenced to time served in August 2025.

A 21-year-old woman is charged with misdemeanor obstruction because, according to court filings, she initially lied to police about where she was at the time of the homicide before admitting she was in the car that the men drove to the scene.

The backstory:

Prosecutors accuse the three men of breaking into the victim's home, dragging him out of bed and shooting him. It happened near 96th and Beatrice, just north of Brown Deer Road, on Dec. 21.

The victim has since been identified as 24-year-old Jose Suares-Montes. According to a criminal complaint, a witness who was inside the home said two masked men "simultaneously" shot Suarez-Montes. Court filings said a caller reported hearing "about 20 gunshots" and saw three people run from the area and get into a waiting car.

Investigators said George told police that they went to "settle the matter" after he said Suares-Montes broke one of his car windows. George admitted he touched the guns involved in the homicide but "denied being a shooter."
