Investigators said Sims was with a woman before the shooting who had previously been in a relationship with Erving. She eventually told detectives that Erving “intended to physically harm her.”
Court filings said a woman was trying to end a relationship, but things turned violent.
Trevion Sims
What they’re saying:
Loved ones said Sims died trying to protect a life, and “did not deserve this.” They still can’t wrap their heads around what happened.
“Grieving is one thing, but also having to be there for somebody who will never see their father again is another,” said Destiny Turner, Sims’ sister. “How am I going to be able to continue to pick up the pieces?”
The family started a GoFundMe online fundraiser to help raise money for Sims’ daughter.
“Want people to remember him as a protector, because the only way this happened was because he was protecting a friend,” said Turner.
The Source: FOX6 News spoke to Sims’ family and reviewed information from the Milwaukee Police Department, Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office and Wisconsin Circuit Court.

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.
