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.

Milwaukee Wave coach Marcio Leite 2025-26 team’s evolution in MASL
See first-year Milwaukee Wave head coach Marcio Leite discuss the roles of younger players and veterans as the 2025-26 MASL season begins.
The Milwaukee Wave had been in the awkward position of trying to sell tickets to the MASL championship series without knowing when it would actually host a game.
The questions were answered late April 19, when the San Diego Sockers beat the St. Louis Ambush in the other semifinal in overtime. Their series didn’t even start until four days after the Wave eliminated the Baltimore Blast with victories in a regulation Game 2 and knockout Game 3 at the UWM Panther Arena.
Now the finals are set for two of the most decorated teams in arena soccer.
The Wave will host Game 1 at 6:35 p.m. Wednesday, April 22 and then the series will finish at the Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, California, with Game 2 at 9:30 p.m. April 24 and a potential Game 3 at 9 p.m. April 27.
Three versions of the Sockers have totaled 16 championships in various indoor league with the latest iteration founded in 2009 owning six of those. The Wave has seven.
First-year Wave head coach Marcio Leite has won titles with both franchises.
