Milwaukee man charged; felony murder in death of 27-year-old woman
MILWAUKEE – A 28-year-old Milwaukee man is charged with felony murder-battery in the death of a 27-year-old woman in March 2023. The accused is Orville Duke.
According to the criminal complaint, Milwaukee police received a 911 call around 12:45 p.m. on March 15. The caller stated “he just woke up and his girl’s not breathing. The caller stated that all he knew was that she got into a fight last night and was drunk and that he picked her up and came home.”
Milwaukee police responded to the home near 46th and Villard — and found a 27-year-old woman deceased.
The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office conducted an autopsy of the deceased. The cause of death was determined to be “multiple blunt force injuries,” the complaint says.
On March 25, detectives interviewed defendant Duke. Duke indicated on March 14, he and the victim had gone to Potawatomi Casino in separate cars. At one point, the woman left the casino to go to a bar near 51st and Villard. Duke said he later went to the bar to get the woman — he told detectives the victim “was very intoxicated, and he noticed some redness on her face,” the complaint says.

Eventually, Duke said he got the woman home. He told detectives the woman “started to become aggressive with him,” the complaint says. Duke also told police the woman “had a green glass bottle that she used to hit her forehead,” the complaint says. Duke said the woman then went to sleep.
According to the criminal complaint, “Duke denied hitting (the woman) and said that her injuries were from the bar and her hitting herself with the bottle. After further questioning, Duke said that (the woman) attacked him, and that to defendant himself, he pushed her and then kicked her in the back.” Duke told detectives “as he started kicking her, he ‘blacked out’ and then once he stopped blacking out, he gained his composure and stopped kicking (the woman),” the complaint says.
Duke made his initial appearance in Milwaukee County court on Friday, Aug. 18. Cash bond was set at $10,000.

'This is my pub': Packers Fans fill Moran’s in South Milwaukee for Thanksgiving watch party
SOUTH MILWAUKEE — It was all about the Packers Thursday night at Moran’s Pub on Thanksgiving. Dozens of fans spent the end of the holiday cheering on Green Bay as they took on the Miami Dolphins.
Moran’s invited TMJ4 to check out their special watch party and soak in the atmosphere.
Deanna Olson, a devoted fan, referred to the pub as her home. “This is my pub,” she said. “This is my hometown, South Milwaukee, born and raised. I live here, I love it, and I always cheer on my Packers. I’ve got to bring Grandpa’s flag, and here we are.”

That flag has become a lucky fashion statement of sorts for Olson.
“We went ahead and put this on as an ascot, and then we beat the Bears, so the ascot has to come back,” she said.

Olson wasn’t the only fan relying on a good luck charm Thursday night.
“I always have my Packer purse. Always during Packer season, I’ve got to make sure that I carry this,” said Katie “Grammy” Hilpert.

Hilpert was joined by her daughter and granddaughter. Together, they bleed Green and Gold. Moran’s is her go-to pub, making the game even more enjoyable.
“Oh, they’re my boys. I’m very thankful because they have had a little better of a season, but we’ll take what we can get,” said Hilpert.
During the game, fans had the chance to play games and participate in raffles.
Both Hilpert’s and Olson’s lucky charms paid off as the Packers secured the win.
While Hilpert was grateful to cheer on her beloved Packers this holiday, simply coming together at the pub was already a guaranteed victory.
“What are you thankful for?” asked TMJ4’s Mike Beiermeister.
“Grandchildren, children. Life in general is really good, really good right now,” Hilpert replied, embodying the spirit of gratitude on this Thanksgiving Day.
