Milwaukee homicide, burned van; man; Antonio Carr enters guilty plea
MILWAUKEE – A Milwaukee man has entered a guilty plea in connection with a homicide that occurred in Milwaukee in May 2023. Antonio Carr is accused of helping the person responsible for the north side homicide.
Carr was initially charged with harboring or aiding a felon and bail jumping (felony). Carr pleaded guilty to one count of harboring or aiding a felon on June 20. The charge of bail jumping was dismissed and read into the court record for the purposes of sentencing.
A sentencing hearing is scheduled for Aug. 29.
Case details
According to the criminal complaint, a Milwaukee County sheriff’s deputy responded to a freeway shooting the morning of May 3. It happened on the southbound Highway 145 on-ramp at Silver Spring Drive. Despite life-saving attempts, the victim ultimately died at the scene from three gunshot wounds.

A detective later spoke to a person who said she was a passenger in the victim’s vehicle. This person stated, per the complaint, the victim driving when the “car in front of them stopped, the drive got out and began to shoot” into their vehicle. The person described the attacker’s “car” as a “blue/gray tall work van.”

The victim’s vehicle was equipped with a video camera which showed the events leading up to the shooting. The complaint states the victim is heard saying: “Dude, drive you big (expletive) van. What are you doing fool? What is you doing?” A person then got out of the van and approached the victim’s car before four gunshots are heard.
Several hours later, a green van was located underneath a bridge near 35th Street and Arthur Avenue in Milwaukee. The bottom of a burned, red gasoline can was recovered from behind the front passenger seat under melted debris, and that the damage to the van was extensive.
The Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office found surveillance video from the roadways near the homicide scene – and confirmed the burned van was the vehicle driven by the shooter, the complaint states.

The complaint states a detective spoke to Carr, who admitted to “being at or near both the homicide and burnt van locations.” However, Carr said he went to the homicide scene “because he saw it on the news” and that he was near the van “because he was on the south side to ‘bust a move.’”
The detective found text messages between another individual and Carr in which he “sends that person a news story about the homicide and the text, ‘on my baby he killed him,’” the complaint states. The person then responded with advice about how to dispose of the van. A short time later, Carr texted, “Done.”

MILWAUKEE – Rhys Hoskins hit a grand slam off Sean Manaea in the first inning and the New York Mets’ playoff hopes took a hit Friday night with an 8-4 loss to the NL Central champion Milwaukee Brewers.
The Mets, Arizona Diamondbacks and Atlanta Braves are chasing the final two National League wild cards. The Mets and Braves have identical 87-71 records after Atlanta beat the Kansas City Royals 3-0 on Friday. The Diamondbacks were 88-71 heading into their Friday night game with the San Diego Padres.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza was ejected by plate umpire Ramon De Jesus after arguing a called third strike on Francisco Alvarez that thwarted a rally attempt in the fourth inning.
New York’s loss spoiled the return of shortstop Francisco Lindor, who went 2 for 4 and committed an error in his first appearance since Sept. 15. Lindor had played only one inning over the Mets’ past 10 games due to lower back pain.
Hoskins’ first-inning drive was his third grand slam and the Brewers’ 10th of the season, both tying franchise records.
The only other Brewers to have three grand slams in a season were John Jaha in 1995, Devon White in 2001 and John Vander Wal in 2003. The only other year the Brewers hit 10 grand slams was in 1995.
Milwaukee’s Brice Turang went 3 for 4 with three runs and three steals – increasing his season total to 50. Gary Sánchez homered.

The only other players in franchise history to have at least 50 steals in a season were Tommy Harper (73 in 1969), Scott Podsednik (70 in 2005), Jonathan Villar (62 in 2016) and Pat Listach (54 in 1992). Harper’s 73 steals came in the franchise’s inaugural season, when they were the Seattle Pilots.
Milwaukee improved to 11-1 in its last 12 games against the Mets, including a 4-0 record this year.
Hoskins’ slam gave the Brewers an early 4-0 lead over Manaea, who had allowed more than three runs in only one of his last 12 starts. Manaea (12-6) gave up six runs — five earned — while lasting just 3 2/3 innings. New York had won his previous eight outings.
The Mets trailed 5-0 before Mark Vientos hit a two-run shot off starter Frankie Montas in the third.
New York then had runners on first and second with two outs in the fourth when Alvarez worked a 10-pitch at-bat before he struck out looking at a 3-2 pitch that appeared a bit low.
The Mets scored two runs off Hoby Milner in the eighth to cut Milwaukee’s lead to 7-4, but a brilliant catch by rookie Jackson Chourio in deep left-center helped limit the damage. Sánchez provided more breathing room with a 425-foot shot to left off Alex Young in the bottom half.
Joe Ross (3-6) pitched three innings of shutout relief to earn the win. Trevor Megill got the final out in the eighth and worked a scoreless ninth to earn his 21st save in 24 opportunities.

Brewers RF Sal Frelick left after crashing into the sidewall while trying to make a leaping catch of a foul ball in the third inning. Frelick walked slowly to the bench and got helped toward the clubhouse.
