Former Milwaukee Journal editorial editor Behrendt dies at 89
Longtime Milwaukee journalist David Behrendt has died at the age of 89, reports Tom Daykin of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

He went on to work as a reporter for the Decatur (Illinois) Review and joined the The Milwaukee Journal as a reporter in 1960. He became a copy editor in 1970 and an editorial writer the following year. Behrendt later served as editor of the newspaper’s Crossroads section, and he was a member of the Journal Sentinel editorial board from 1995 — when the newspaper was formed through The Milwaukee Journal and Milwaukee Sentinel merger — until his retirement in 1998.
He also was The Journal‘s editorial page editor from 1984 to 1995.
In his retirement, Behrendt continued to be published in the Journal Sentinel.

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.
