Wisconsin's Most Wanted: Deandre Williams

Investigators say a loved one’s homicide sent a Milwaukee man over the edge.

Investigators say a loved one’s homicide sent a Milwaukee man over the edge. Prosecutors say he walked into a liquor store in September and shot and killed a stranger. Investigators say Deandre Williams then went on the run.  

On the run

What we know:

In September 2024, someone shot and killed a 17-year-old in the street near 14th and Locust. Investigators say it was Williams’s cousin. 

About four hours after that shooting, investigators say the 22-year-old walked into a liquor store at 23rd and Capitol looking for trouble.

"It’s believed that this sent Mr. Williams into a kind of a rage mode," the marshal said. "Was observed yelling at himself, yelling at customers, yelling at the clerk."

As he walked out of the store, prosecutors say a stranger caught his attention and Williams pulled out a gun.

"Mr. Williams shot the victim at point blank range with a 9mm semi-automatic handgun," the marshal said.

Surveillance both inside and outside of the store helped identify the suspect before he took off.

"We’d like to get him in custody as soon as possible, preventing further violence Mr. Williams might be capable of," the marshal said.
