Case details
What we know:
According to the criminal complaint, Milwaukee police were dispatched to a residence on N. Terrace Avenue on Thursday, Feb. 26, for a shots-fired complaint. When officers arrived on the scene, they interviewed a man who had been conducting a home repair at the residence. The man said as he was packing up, he noticed the defendant walking by his work truck. At that point, the complaint says, the "defendant asked him how many people were in the house and then said, 'I'm going to (expletive) this (expletive) up.' The defendant had his hand in his sweatshirt which (the man) believed to be holding a gun." The worker was ordered by the defendant to move from his truck to the house, and then into the house. The worker told police he "was fearful of being shot and had his hands up," the complaint says. Eventually, the defendant told the worker to go away, so he ran and called 911. The worker said as he was running, he heard a gunshot.

A person who knows the owner of the house described the defendant to police. She said he "had a joint in his mouth, slurred speech, and red eyes," the complaint says. This person also said the "defendant pointed the firearm at the window above (the owner's) head and fired a shot into the window," the complaint says. At that point, the defendant tried unsuccessfully to get the person to perform a sex act.
According to the criminal complaint, the defendant walked around the house, and then out to the driveway. The defendant asked the second person about the vehicles in the driveway. He was about to take one of them when Milwaukee police showed up. Officers "gave the defendant commands, and he did not follow them," the complaint says. Eventually, the defendant was arrested. A loaded firearm was recovered from the defendant. The court filing indicates the gun was stolen from a vehicle in November 2025.
