Milwaukee Double Shooting Kills Christopher White, Wounds Caregiver

Police are asking for tips in an active investigation.

Overview

  • Police said the gunfire late Friday near N. 11th Street and W. Atkinson Avenue killed 38-year-old Christopher White and injured a 35-year-old caregiver.
  • Family members identified White and said he had been paralyzed since a 2009 shooting and used a wheelchair.
  • Relatives said the wounded man is White’s full-time caretaker, and Milwaukee police said he is being treated for nonfatal injuries.
  • Investigators reported no arrests and asked anyone with information to contact Milwaukee police or Crime Stoppers.
  • Loved ones gathered for a vigil on Saturday and launched a GoFundMe for funeral costs, as local data show 26 homicides and 87 nonfatal shootings recorded citywide so far this year.
