$10,000 reward offered for information on Playmakers robbery and homicide

A $10,000 reward is being offered for anyone with information for the arrest and conviction of those involved in the armed and masked robbery/homicide that occurred the evening of July 30, 2010 at Playmakers, 2230 N. Martin Luther King Dr.

Milwaukee Police are seeking between four and six suspects, described as masked and armed Black males, in their late teens to early 20s. Attached to this e-mail is a Wanted poster with all the information and a photo of a van that we believe is similar to the one used as the getaway vehicle in the crime.

Additionally, you can watch the four-minute news conference on the Milwaukee Police Department’s YouTube site at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IY1ksyILhgc The video may be embedded and the link shared by any group wishing to help us get this information out to the community.

There has been much publicity on the tragic circumstances of the armed robbery/homicide. It is the experience of the MPD that often the suspects will brag or share information with others like girlfriends or even aloud in a bar. Anyone with information is asked to call Milwaukee Police at 414-935-7360. Callers may remain anonymous and still be eligible to collect the reward money.
