Milwaukee homicide; man charged, loved ones mourn victim

MILWAUKEE – A Milwaukee family is facing the unthinkable after their loved one was shot and killed Monday morning inside his east side apartment building.

What we know:

Family members and loved ones on-and-off-camera described 50-year-old Angelo Nelson as the life of every room, someone who made everyone feel special. They say his death never should have happened.

“To hear how this happened, I think that’s what hurt me more than anything,” said D’Juan Hill, Nelson’s best friend. “To know that my friend couldn’t save himself because there was nothing to be saved.”

Hill said he and Nelson had known each other since seventh grade and recently celebrated Nelson’s 50th birthday together – one of the last moments the pair had together.

Prosecutors say 31-year-old Milwaukee man Dominic Nosacek shot and killed Nelson in the hallway of his apartment building near Ogden and Astor on Monday, Feb. 2. Prosecutors have now charged Nosacek in the case.

What they’re saying:

“It was someone’s own personal mental stability that took my friend from me,” Hill said. “I want the world to know about Angelo Nelson.”

Police initially said the shooting happened during an argument. However, a criminal complaint states Nosacek later told detectives there was never a fight.

According to court documents, Nosacek turned himself in hours after the shooting at a Department of Homeland Security building, telling security guards, “I just killed a militia, I shot him in the head.”

Prosecutors say Nosacek has a history of mental illness and domestic violence incidents and should not have possessed a firearm.

Investigators found Nelson dead inside the apartment building.

“You are doing laundry, every day things, and to know someone in their own personal mind and space sees you and they have their own vision of who you are is unfair,” Hill said.

What you can do:

Loved ones have created a GoFundMe to help cover funeral expenses as the family prepares to lay Nelson to rest.

What’s next:

Nosacek is now charged with first-degree intentional homicide and bail jumping. He is expected to appear in court Thursday morning, Feb. 5.

WSJ: Billionaire Milwaukee Bucks co-owner targeted in extortion scheme – UPI.com

May 10 (UPI) — Wes Edens, the billionaire co-founder of Fortress Investment Group and an owner of the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks, was the target of a billion-dollar extortion scheme allegedly perpetrated by an ex-lover, the Wall Street Journal reported Sunday.

A spokesman for Edens, 64, confirmed to the newspaper that the financier is the unnamed alleged victim in a federal indictment brought against Changli “Sophia” Luo of New York City.

Edens, one of world’s most successful global investment management firm leaders with Fortress, has developed and owned businesses in real estate, transportation, infrastructure, health care, financial services, media and entertainment.

He is also a high-profile sports team owner, including the Bucks and soccer club Aston Villa of the English Premier League. He is credited turning the Bucks from a perennial cellar dweller into a champion squad over a five-year span, culminating in the 2021 NBA championship.

But he also fell victim to a lurid alleged “sextortion” scheme, his spokesman confirmed to the WSJ, admitting the Edens is the unnamed “Victim 1” cited an indictment filed last year in Manhattan federal court against Luo.

The indictment reportedly accuses her of trying to extort Victim 1 of more than $1 billion by threatening to release videos and photos of them engaged in sex. Prosecutors alleged Luo also threatened to contact the victim’s family members and business partners in a threat to destroy his fortune if he did not pay up.

According to the indictment, Luo was arrested June 14 at JFK International Airport as she tried to board a flight to China, the New York Post reported.

“Mr. Edens will be making no comment on the case as the indictment speaks for itself with respect to the charges against the defendant,” his spokesman told the Journal. “Mr. Edens expects to testify under oath at the upcoming trial.”
