Milwaukee Man Charged With Three Counts of Murder After Two Separate Shootings Leave Three Dead

MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN — A 26-year-old Milwaukee man has been charged with three counts of first-degree intentional homicide after police say he was involved in two separate shootings that left three people dead last weekend.

According to the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office, Michael Williams is accused of carrying out both attacks on October 19, 2025, in different areas of the city.

Two Dead in First Shooting on North 27th Street

Police said the first shooting occurred on the 4300 block of North 27th Street, where Marcus Smith and Sandra Lee were found dead from gunshot wounds. Witnesses reported hearing multiple gunshots before seeing a man flee the area on foot.

Authorities later identified the suspect as Michael Williams, linking him to both that scene and another deadly incident later the same day.

Third Victim Killed Hours Later on North 31st Street

Later that evening, officers were called to another shooting on the 4600 block of North 31st Street, where Lakendrick Roby was discovered fatally shot.

Investigators believe Williams carried out both shootings within hours of each other, describing the incidents as targeted acts of violence rather than random attacks.

The Milwaukee Police Department offered condolences to the victims’ families and confirmed that detectives are continuing to investigate potential motives and connections between the victims and the suspect.

Williams Faces Life in Prison if Convicted

Williams has been formally charged with three counts of first-degree intentional homicide, which carries a mandatory life sentence if convicted.

He remains in custody at the Milwaukee County Jail, and prosecutors say additional charges could be filed as the investigation continues.

As Milwaukee police work to piece together the timeline of the twin shootings, officials are urging residents to come forward with any information that could aid the ongoing investigation. For more breaking news and public safety updates across Wisconsin, visit ChicagoMusicGuide.com.
