Case details

What we know:

Milwaukee police were called to the home near 111th and Daphne on the night of Dec. 5, 2022. The victim told officers Jenkins had messaged her earlier that day and believed he was threatening to “shoot up her house.”

Around 10:30 p.m. that night, the victim said she heard a “loud boom” and felt a pain in her leg – noting a welt, a bullet hole in her bathtub and a bullet on the floor. 

A criminal complaint states police also found four bullet strikes to the back of the home, one of which would’ve gone into the bathroom – where it went through the bathtub and hit the victim in the leg.

At the scene, the complaint states officers found eight spent bullet casings – all of which were fired from the same gun. 

Surveillance video showed a silver Honda pull up just before 10:30 p.m. and the driver’s door opened. The camera feed cut out just after that point, but the complaint states it took another clip shortly after that showed the Honda drive away.

Per the complaint, police were already monitoring Jenkins’ social media because he was wanted for a “probation/parole violation.” On Dec. 3, he posted a video that showed him inside a similar vehicle near 6th and Canal. Pole cameras from that area at that time showed a Honda driving that “appears to be the same” as the one seen near 111th and Daphne. Additional surveillance taken minutes later showed the Honda pull up at a downtown hotel and the driver – Jenkins – get out. 

Jenkins was arrested as part of the U.S. Marshals Service “Operation North Star II.”

• T-Pain is staging Wiscansin Fest at the Rave in Milwaukee for the fourth consecutive year June 14.
• T-Pain will again headline, with Feid, Keyshia Cole, Pusha T and DJ Diesel (NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal) among the 17 acts on the bill.
• Wiscansin Fest festivities also will include a car drifting event for the first time, called Wiscansin State Fear, on June 13 at the Milwaukee Mile.

T-Pain is coming back to Wiscansin in Wisconsin.

The Grammy-winning rapper and singer Thursday announced the fourth edition of his annual Wiscansin Fest at the Rave in Milwaukee — this year, dubbed “Back to Wiscansin Fest” — on June 14.

T-Pain will again headline, with Colombian singer Feid; R&B artist Keyshia Cole; and veteran rappers Pusha T, Wale and Jermaine Dupri among the 17 performers taking over multiple rooms at the Rave.

Two acts with other Milwaukee shows on the books — DJ Diesel, better known as NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal, and rapper NLE Choppa — are making their own appearances at Wiscansin Fest. (Diesel is doing a post-Brewers game concert at American Family Field Sept. 18, while Choppa will open for Lil Baby at Fiserv Forum June 24.)

A couple of Milwaukee artists — Djay Mando and local rapper NileXNile — are also on the bill, with two acts yet to be announced.

And for the first time, Wiscansin Fest festivities include a bonus event, Wiscansin State Fear, June 13 at the Milwaukee Mile at Wisconsin State Fair Park. The Friday the 13th event will feature car drifting and other track events orchestrated by T-Pain’s Nappy Boy Automotive, along with carnival rides, games, karaoke and more.

T-Pain first teased the return of Wiscansin Fest Wednesday with a social media video showing him getting out of a DeLorean — similar to the one from the “Back to the Future” movies — outside the front doors of the Rave, and sporting sneakers similar to the self-lacing pair Marty McFly (played by Michael J. Fox) wears in “Back to the Future Part II.”

T-Pain started Wiscansin Fest in 2022 as a nod to one of his most famous lyrics, from his 2008 hit “Can’t Believe It,” in which he rhymes “mansion” with “Wiscansin.” The Florida rapper has gotten a lot of mileage from that creative choice, launching a “Wiscansin University” merch line, complete with funny fake-college website, in 2018.

And last month, he joked on social media that he had renamed Wisconsin “Wiscansin,” poking fun at President Donald Trump signing an executive order requiring the Gulf of Mexico to be renamed the Gulf of America on official maps.

In 2023, T-Pain also told the Journal Sentinel he plans to open a real-life Wiscansin University, a music school, in the Milwaukee area, although details have yet to be revealed since.

Tickets, priced between $73 and $168, go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday at the box office (2401 W. Wisconsin Ave.) and therave.com. Two-day passes covering both Wiscansin Fest and Wisconsin State Fear also go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday for $108.

Milwaukee County’s population increased by 2,880 in 2024, the first year-over-year population increase for the county since 2014, according to new data from the U.S. Census Bureau.

The county’s population as of July 1, the date the Census Bureau uses for its annual estimates, was 924,740, an increase of 0.31% from the prior year.

The natural change in Milwaukee County’s population – the number of births minus the number of deaths – was similar to 2023 with a net increase of 2,340.

Shifts in migration helped push the county into positive growth. The county saw net migration of 524 for the year, compared to a net decrease of 4,254 in 2023. The change was the result of both an increase in net growth from international migration and a smaller decrease from net domestic outmigration.

Still, the county’s population is down by nearly 15,000 since April 2020. The decline is the result of a 41,790 net resident decrease from domestic migration, offset by an increase of 18,266 from international migration and 9,421 in natural change.

Milwaukee County’s growth also did lag behind the overall state’s population growth, which was 0.52% for the year.

Menominee County, which has a population of just 4,286 as of 2024, led the state with a 1.54% increase.

Dane County was the second fastest growing with a 1.48% increase to 588,347.

In southeastern Wisconsin, Waukesha County saw the strongest growth with a 0.73% increase to 417,029.

Racine and Kenosha counties also outpaced the state growth rate with increases of 0.63% and 0.53% respectively.

Ozaukee County was up 0.47%, Jefferson County increased 0.32%, Sheboygan County increased 0.28%, Washington County was up 0.17% and Walworth County was up 0.02%.

This past year marked the first year this decade that all of the counties in the BizTimes coverage area saw a year-over-year increase in population.

Milwaukee County is the only county in the region that saw a significant natural change in its population. Among the remaining eight counties, only Kenosha County saw a natural change of greater than 100 with a net increase from births and deaths of 154. The other seven counties were either up or down less than 100. They are all also net down in population from natural change since 2020

Waukesha County did benefit from migration with a net increase in 2024 of 2,990, including 1,399 from international sources and 1,591 from domestic.

Racine County also saw a notable shift from migration with an increase of 1,211, roughly evenly split between international and domestic.

The metro Milwaukee area, which includes Milwaukee, Waukesha, Ozaukee and Washington counties, saw a 0.42% increase in population to 1,574,452. That growth rate ranked 261^st in the country.

The metro area’s growth was outpaced by a number of other Midwest metros that are slightly larger than Milwaukee, including Minneapolis-St. Paul, Cincinnati, Kansas City, Columbus, and Indianapolis.

The Chicago metro area, which includes 9.4 million people, grew 0.8% in 2024.

Milwaukee did grow faster than the St. Louis, Pittsburgh and Cleveland metro areas this past year.

Among smaller Midwest metros, those growing faster than Milwaukee included Grand Rapids, Omaha, Allentown, Dayton, Des Moines and Madison.
