The shooting happened at the intersection of North Vel R. Phillips Avenue and West State Street, between the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Panther Arena and Landmark Credit Union Live, a new venue that hosted its first touring act the night before the shooting.
The venue hosted BossMan Dlow Feb. 28. The Milwaukee Bucks did not play at Fiserv Forum the night of the shooting. It is unclear whether the victim and suspect were attending an event in the Deer District.
The downtown area has seen shootings before, including a quadruple shooting in June 2025 that sent four young adults to the hospital. In 2022, three people were injured in a shooting outside Fiserv Forum after a Bucks playoff game.
Milwaukee has recorded 14 homicides so far this year and 47 non-fatal shootings, both down from this time last year and in 2024, according to MPD statistics.
