Domestic dispute leads to murder-suicide on northwest side, police say
Embrace serves domestic violence victims. It’s struggling due to federal cuts.
An group that helps survivors of domestic violence and assault in rural northwest Wisconsin is learning how to survive while its funding is slashed.
Milwaukee police say two people died in a murder-suicide following a domestic dispute early Sunday morning in the Silver Spring neighborhood.
The double fatal shooting happened around 3:30 a.m. on Dec. 7 in the 5600 block of North 78th Street, near the intersection of West Silver Spring Drive and Highway 145.
The Milwaukee Police Department said a 45-year-old man fired shots during a domestic dispute, striking a 41-year-old who sustained fatal injuries. Police did not provide the gender of the victim.
The 45-year-old man then died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Police are investigating the circumstances. Anyone with information is asked to call Milwaukee Police at (414) 935-7360. To remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at (414) 224-TIPS or P3 Tips.
Wisconsin saw record domestic violence deaths last year
Wisconsin saw 99 domestic violence deaths in 2024, according to a report from End Domestic Abuse Wisconsin, the highest number since the organization began tracking data in 2000.
The analysis included the deaths of perpetrators who died by suicide or law enforcement action.
Meanwhile, more than 100 organizations across the state are struggling as funds dry up through the Victims of Crime Act fund, known as VOCA.
The federal fund pays for domestic violence hotlines, child abuse advocacy centers and other services for crime victims across Wisconsin.

Judge Michelle Havas sentenced Gladney to 29 years in prison on Friday, April 17. He was granted credit for more than a year’s time served and further sentenced to 14 years of extended supervision.
Arrested in Arizona after years on the run, court records show Gladney has also been ordered to pay the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office more than $1,800 for extradition costs.
Homicide investigation
The backstory:
The shooting happened in May 2020. Investigators said Gladney was captured on video apparently arguing with the victim, his cousin, outside a Milwaukee convenience store near 21st and Meinecke.
“It’s all on video, and it’s devastating for that family,” the marshal on the case told FOX6 when Gladney was profiled on Wisconsin’s Most Wanted. “You have a family member that shot and killed another family member.”

Prosecutors said Gladney walked away but then returned with a gun pointed directly at the victim and shot him. The victim died from his gunshot wounds at a nearby hospital. Multiple bullet casings were found at the scene.
Gladney went on the run for years. He was arrested in Arizona in January 2023, years after he was charged.
