Milwaukee County Judge Kori Ashley sentenced Gooden to five years in prison, with credit for more than a year's time served, and five years of extended supervision.

The case against 21-year-old Tyris Miller, who was charged with attempted first-degree intentional homicide, was dismissed without prejudice in September 2025.

53rd and Center shooting | December 2024

Milwaukee police responded to St. Joseph's Hospital, where a person was being treated for gunshot wounds, on Dec. 16, 2024. A criminal complaint said the victim suffered wounds to his jaw, neck, chest and right leg. Officials noted the victim's lung and liver were also penetrated by the gunfire.

A detective spoke with the person who drove the victim to the hospital. The driver "admitted" that he and the shooting victim had been selling marijuana and that the victim "had a firearm in his waistband," the complaint said. They were near 53rd and Center, where someone else had asked them to meet. The complaint said, when the two arrived, four people approached the car. The driver told the detective he did not know three of the individuals, and exchanged a few words with the person he did know.

The complaint said the person the driver knew gave the driver money for marijuana and "immediately turned around and started walking away before (the driver) had given him anything. Before (the driver) could ask what was happening, one of the other individuals reached through the passenger window and put a hand on (the victim's) firearm and pointed his own firearm at (the victim). The subject fired multiple shots point-blank into (the victim)."

Officers developed suspects based on footage from a nearby convenience store, which was captured shortly before the shooting. One person later identified Miller as one of the people involved from a photo lineup. When the detective spoke to the shooting victim at the hospital, he said the "shooter's name is Lorenzo," according to the complaint, and added that he had known him since high school. The victim was able to identify Gooden from a photo lineup.

MILWAUKEE - Milwaukee police responded to six separate shootings on Saturday, June 13. One person was killed, and five others were wounded.

Rollover crash

According to the Fond du Lac County Sheriff's Office, at about 7:17 p.m. the Fond du Lac County Sheriff's Office Communication Center got multiple 911 calls about a single-vehicle rollover crash on County Highway HH in the Town of Calumet.

A preliminary investigation indicates the SUV was traveling west on County Highway HH. The vehicle went off the roadway at a curve and struck a culvert and driveway, went airborne, crashed into a utility pole, and subsequently rolled over.

The driver, a 16-year-old girl from Sheboygan, and a 15-year-old passenger were taken by ambulance to St. Agnes Hospital in Fond du Lac. A 16-year-old girl, a passenger, was fatally injured and died at the scene. Her identity is being withheld pending notification of family members.

A 15-year-old passenger was flown to Children's Wisconsin and another 15-year-old passenger was transported by his parents to St. Nicholas Hospital in Sheboygan for medical evaluation. A 14-year-old passenger was not injured and was released to a parent at the scene.

Authorities say that based on the preliminary investigation, impairment appears to be a contributing factor in the crash.

The 16-year-old driver was arrested and taken to the Fond du Lac County Jail on suspicion of homicide by intoxicated use of a motor vehicle.

The Fond du Lac County Sheriff's Office is investigating the crash.

"Got a hard passion for cooking that I picked up in Tennessee, and now it’s a ministry to us as well," said Michael Hester, Pop's BBQ Memphis-Style CEO. "We traveled through Milwaukee and made Milwaukee our home."

"This is Milwaukee. It’s not just an African-American thing, it’s a Milwaukee thing, so we want everyone to participate," said Tony Kearney, Juneteenth Milwaukee president.

"Freedom isn’t free, it’s a constant battle, and we have to make sure that our history is told properly," Kearney said.

This year marks 55 years of Milwaukee's Juneteenth Day celebration – one of the longest-running traditions in the nation.

"We’re talking about American history, not just African American history, it’s American history. That’s the importance of it," said Kearney. "Being able to have done it for 55 years says the community is together, and it agrees that this needs to happen."

The preview party featured performances from Divine Essence Dance Team and food vendors people can find at the celebration and taste of Juneteenth at Henry Maier Festival Park.

"I appreciate that they allow me to participate in it and just to serve people in the community. It’s a phenomenal day," said Kellie Davis.

The Juneteenth Festival also offers several community zones with essential resources, including one for veterans.

This year’s theme is honoring the past and empowering the future – a message Kearney said hopes will inspire youth to lead the festival to new heights.

"We have some dynamite young people that are going to be running Milwaukee over the next decade-and-a-half," said Kearney.

Juneteenth Jubilee

Juneteenth, also known as Emancipation Day, is celebrated on June 19. It commemorates the end of slavery, as the last enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, were finally given the news: They were free. That was two-and-a-half years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

MILWAUKEE - Milwaukee police shot and killed an armed 22-year-old man following a standoff near 84th and Lynx, just south of Mill, on Friday, June 12.

Initial call

According to the Milwaukee Police Department, just before 11 a.m., officers responded to a 911 complaint regarding a person threatening to shoot the 911 caller. Investigators later learned that person, the suspect, attempted to rob the caller.

Standoff and negotiations

MPD officers saw the suspect armed with a revolver walking away from the scene, and they attempted to stop him. The suspect told officers to shoot him as he held the revolver to his head and threatened to shoot officers. The suspect then ran into a nearby apartment building, where he retreated to a second floor landing in a common hallway. Officers then heard a firearm discharge.

SIGN UP TODAY: Get daily headlines, breaking news emails from FOX6 News

As officers repeatedly ordered him to drop the revolver, an officer fired at the suspect, but no one was struck at that time. Officers negotiated with the suspect for about an hour.

As the officers talked with the suspect, he agreed to accept a bottle of water and a cigar from the officers. He then walked down the stairs to retrieve these items. At that point, less-than-lethal options were used to try to take the suspect into custody.

The suspect then retreated up the stairs to the landing. Officers then fired at the suspect, striking him. The suspect was taken into custody, and medical aid was rendered at the scene. He was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead at about 12:50 pm.

The suspect’s revolver was found near him when he was shot. No officers were injured by gunfire.

Previous incident

While investigating this incident, another victim told Milwaukee police that the suspect tried to steal their vehicle while armed with a revolver. This happened down the road near 84th and Kaul shortly before the original call.

Man shot

The 22-year-old man's mother identified him as Jaylyn Brown. She said her son struggled with bipolar disorder and ADHD and wished he had gotten help.

Investigation

The officers involved are a 39-year-old man with more than 13 years of service, a 46-year-old man with more than 22 years of service, and a 41-year-old man with more than 22 years of service.

They will be placed on administrative duty, which is routine in a critical incident.

The Milwaukee Area Investigative Team will be investigating this incident, and the Waukesha Police Department is the lead agency.

Editor's note: This story was updated to include information about Brown.

MILWAUKEE - The second of two Milwaukee women convicted of child neglect after a 4-year-old shot an 8-year-old has now been sentenced to probation.

Court records show 24-year-old Vanta'jah Westmoreland pleaded guilty to three misdemeanor child neglect counts, and a felony count was dismissed as part of a plea deal on Friday. 

FREE DOWNLOAD: Get breaking news alerts in the FOX6 News app for iOS or Android.

Judge Anderson Gansner then sentenced Westmoreland to two years' probation with conditions that include absolute sobriety and not having any guns.

Nakia Piggee, 29, reached a plea deal and was convicted of two misdemeanor child neglect counts in April 2025. A felony and a third misdemeanor were dismissed. She, too, was sentenced to two years' probation at that time.

Child shoots child

Prosecutors said Piggee and Westmoreland left a group of children unattended inside an apartment on 75th Street, just northeast of 76th and Brown Deer, when the shooting happened on Nov. 8, 2024.

According to a criminal complaint, there were four kids in the apartment at the time: the 8-year-old girl who was shot, the 4-year-old boy, another 8-year-old and a 2-year-old.

SIGN UP TODAY: Get daily headlines, breaking news emails from FOX6 News

Investigators later determined Piggee and Westmoreland had been watching the group of kids but left them unattended inside the apartment, court filings said. They returned roughly 40 minutes later after the 8-year-old girl called and said she was bleeding.

When asked who shot her, the complaint said the victim pointed at the 4-year-old boy. The victim said she knew a gun was kept under a mattress in the bedroom, the boy grabbed it, it went off, and the boy put it back under the bed.

Investigators determined the boy had been dropped off at the apartment to be babysat minutes before Piggee and Westmoreland left, according to court filings.

Prosecutors said the apartment was "filthy and littered with food, dirty clothes, cigarettes' ashes and plastic bottles." The bedroom was "littered further with liquor bottles, ashes, ashtrays (sic) and diapers." Police did not find any firearm safety items, such as a gun lock or safe, anywhere in the apartment.

In the bedroom, the complaint said police located the "severely disabled" 2-year-old child in a crib. Between the crib and a mattress, officers found a single bullet casing. On the floor, police found a bloody t-shirt with an apparent bullet hole in it – as well as a bloody blanket.

Women in custody

Piggee told police she was out for groceries when the shooting happened and claimed to not know where the kids would have gotten a gun, per the complaint. However, she later told investigators she knew there was a gun in the apartment, which belonged to Westmoreland, but "forgot it was there."

Westmoreland spoke to police at the scene. Prosecutors said she told investigators a 16-year-old boy removed the gun from the apartment after the shooting "so no one would get in trouble."

The complaint said a resident of another apartment told police she was getting ready to leave that day when her friend heard a gunshot. She said they went to see what happened, and Westmoreland handed her a gun that was wrapped in a pair of sweatpants. The gun was then put into the 16-year-old's backpack, where police found it still wrapped in the sweatpants.

MILWAUKEE - UPDATE: Milwaukee police said Kylah Allen was found safe on June 10, and Keasia Anderson was found safe on June 12. The original missing person notice is available below.

MILWAUKEE - A Milwaukee County judge sentenced Tremaine Jones on Friday, June 12, to life in prison. He will not be eligible for extended release. Jones was convicted of shooting and killing Officer Kendall Corder and wounding Officer Christopher McCray.

Jones' statement to the court prior to sentencing

Defense attorney Russell Jones read a statement written by Tremaine Jones to the court. It read as follows: 

"Dear judge, I want to start this letter off by saying I sincerely apologize to you, the courts, the Da, the victims and the victim's family. On June 26th, 2025, the life of Kendall Corder was taken and Christopher McCray was also seriously injured in the process. There is not a day that goes by without me thinking, without my me thinking. I just wish I could go back in time and change what happened. Although that is not possible. The reality of it is that I pray each and every day that you, the families and God could someday forgive me for my selfish actions that day. I am not a monster or a violent person. I was highly intoxicated this day and unfortunately, I let fear and anger cloud my judgment. I will not use my drug abuse as an excuse for my poor behavior and decisions. I am here today to take accountability, apologize and pray for forgiveness someday for the grief and suffering that my actions have caused."

Judge's statement, sentence

Milwaukee Police Department statement

Milwaukee Police Chief Jeffrey Norman issued the following statement following the sentencing: 

"While this outcome brings a measure of relief, it does not lessen our profound grief over the tragic loss of our beloved colleague. MPD will forever honor Officer Corder and his dedicated service to this community.

"The sentence imposed is indeed important for justice, but it can never bring back what has been taken from the men and women of the Milwaukee Police Department. I wish to express my deepest gratitude to our members who have endured this tremendous loss yet have remained steadfast and diligent in the work they do every single day for the residents of Milwaukee."

Police union statement

The Milwaukee Police Association released the following statement ahead of Jones' sentencing: 

"Today’s sentencing closes one painful chapter in a tragedy that forever changed the lives of the families of Officer Kendall Corder and Officer Christopher McRay, as well as the entire Milwaukee Police Department.

"Nothing will ever bring Kendall back. He was a son, a partner, a friend, and a police officer who answered the call to protect this community. His loss is still felt deeply by the men and women who served beside him every day.

"We also continue to stand with Officer Christopher McRay, who survived that horrific night and continues to recover physically and emotionally from the trauma he endured. The impact of violence against police officers does not end when the headlines fade or when a sentence is handed down. These wounds last for years.

"This case is a stark reminder of the dangers Milwaukee police officers face every single day. Officers put on the uniform knowing they may be called into violent and unpredictable situations at any moment, yet they continue to show up and serve this community with courage and professionalism.

"Our officers need more than support after a tragedy. They need to know this community stands with them every day when they answer dangerous calls, when they work long hours away from their families, and when they make sacrifices most people will never fully see or understand.

"We ask the community to continue wrapping its arms around the families of Kendall Corder and Christopher McRay, along with all Milwaukee police officers. Support for law enforcement cannot exist only in moments of mourning. It must exist in the everyday recognition that these officers are risking their lives to protect others. 

"We Shall Never Forget."

The shooting

Milwaukee Police Officers Kendall Corder and Christopher McCray were shot near 25th and Garfield on the night of June 26, 2025. They were initially called for a report of a person with a weapon, which was upgraded to shots fired while they were on the way.

When they arrived and stepped out of their squad, they were unexpectedly shot in an alley. Assistant Police Chief Nicole Waldner noted the officers were unable to return fire. Milwaukee Police Association President Alexander Ayala described it as "an ambush."

Corder dropped to the ground, and McCray – who had been shot in the foot, leg and back – ran to grab Corder's firearm and protect him, according to a criminal complaint. Backup officers and a tactical team arrived shortly after the shooting.

The two officers were taken to Froedtert Hospital, a Level I Trauma Center. McCray was released from the hospital days later, while Corder died of his wounds on June 29. Court filings said Corder suffered three gunshot wounds, one of which severed his spine.

Fights between women

Prosecutors said there were fights between groups of women over Jones and allegations of cheating. While at an apartment building before officers arrived, Jones fired shots into the air. The officers arrived a short time later.

McCray said he and Corder were walking down an alley when he saw a flash coming from some bushes and heard a bang that "sounded like a firework," according to the complaint. More flashes and bangs, which were gunshots, followed. 

Court filings said police recovered 16 total rifle cartridge casings at the scene "consistent with the shots being fired from the bushes" as McCray described. They later recovered a rifle along a fence line that the Milwaukee Police Department Fusion Center later determined was "consistent" with being the gun that fired all 16 rounds. Forensic investigators pulled a latent fingerprint, identified as Jones', from the weapon.

The complaint said police also found a social security card, birth certificate and several debit cards with Jones' name on them inside a backpack in a nearby backyard. There was a receipt from a West Allis gun shop that showed Jones bought a gun on June 17 and picked it up on June 19.

Jones was arrested the morning after the shooting at a home near 37th and Villard. A witness said Jones did not know he was shooting at the police and "thought it was someone else," according to court filings. 

At trial

In Jones' trial, there were 34 witnesses, 14 hours of testimony and nearly 300 pieces of evidence entered into the court record. The jury deliberated for a little more than two-and-a-half hours.
