TMJ4, Tom Durian
Their National Night Out will be held off Good Hope Road at the Evangel Assembly of God church. Taylor and Tischer say 35 different community groups will be there as a resource for those who attend.
People who come to the event will enjoy free food and entertainment along with a behind the scenes look at the Milwaukee Police Department. Officers say events like these are an important part of community outreach.
TMJ4, Tom Durian.
“That’s like our super bowl of community engagement, where kids families can come out,” said Lt. Taylor. “[You can] see police in uniform in a friendly manner so we can build those relationships now. So, when we do go out in those communities and events happen they feel comfortable giving us information so it’s a good chance for us to break down barriers and build relationships.”
National Night Out for District 4 starts at 3:00 p.m. and runs through 7:00. The address is 9920 Good Hope Road.

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.
