Daeshaun Graves appears in court on March 20, 2025.
One man, two homicides
The backstory:
Prosecutors said Graves shot and killed his uncle, Darrell Harbour, on July 15, 2025. It happened near 36th and Courtland on Milwaukee's north side, and the shooting was caught on nearby surveillance cameras.
It is unclear where Graves was in the days that followed that homicide. But weeks later, prosecutors said Graves pulled the trigger again.

Two days later, police found Graves at an Airbnb.
