Milwaukee fatal shooting; Samuel Dickerson sentenced to life in prison
MILWAUKEE – A Milwaukee man was sentenced to life in prison for a fatal March 2025 shooting near Holton and Center.
29-year-old Samuel Dickerson was sentenced to life in prison on Friday, Feb. 6. Dickerson is eligible for extended supervision after serving 30 years.
Dickerson had pleaded guilty to the first-degree intentional homicide charge back in January. A dangerous weapon enhancer tied to that charge was dismissed, as was a charge of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Case details
The backstory:
According to the criminal complaint, Milwaukee police were dispatched to a shooting near Holton and Center just before 8 p.m. on Sunday, March 16. When officers arrived on the scene, they found a victim lying in the street. He had suffered multiple gunshot wounds. Paramedics arrived on the scene and took the shooting victim to the hospital for treatment. Within an hour, the victim was pronounced deceased at Froedtert Hospital.

Detectives at the crime scene located four spent 9mm casings. They also collected surveillance video footage of the homicide from a nearby business. The complaint says the video shows three people including the victim, defendant and a third person walking on N. Holton just moments before the shooting. The “defendant suddenly produces a handgun from his right waist area, points it directly at (the victim’s) chest, and fires,” the complaint says. The detective said “a muzzle flash is visible” on the video. The detective noticed that “after the first shot, (the victim) doubles over, and the defendant fires a second time,” the complaint says. The complaint says the defendant fired two more shots before putting the gun in a pocket and walking off camera into a parking lot.
Scene near Holton and Center, Milwaukee
An officer who responded to the homicide scene was approached by someone who indicated the defendant and victim “had argued earlier that day,” the complaint says. This person identified the shooter as the defendant.
A detective learned the “defendant was on GPS tracking as part of his DOC supervision” and that “the defendant had cut off his GPS bracelet” around 9 p.m. on Sunday, about an hour after the shooting. Detectives went to the area where the bracelet was last detected and found it “in a trash can inside of a donut shop,” the complaint says.

Madison police responded to the Madison bus depot where they located a bus bound for Chicago that had already begun the boarding process. One officer boarded the bus and “observed the defendant attempting to conceal his identity by pulling the drawstrings on his hood tight to obscure his face,” the complaint says. When the officer approached the defendant, he “put his hands in the air and was taken into custody without incident,” the complaint says. The officer located a 9mm handgun on the defendant.

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.

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.”

Gladney went on the run for years. He was arrested in Arizona in January 2023, years after he was charged.
