A detective responded to Children’s Wisconsin during the course of the investigation — and met with the defendant, Marquon Howard. The complaint says at the time, it had not yet been determined that Howard played a role in the incident. Howard told the detective he was walking in an alley with two people towards the smoke shop. In front of the shop, there was a Jeep and the driver “may have said something to them but that he did not hear what was said,” the complaint says. Howard said the two people he was with went towards the Jeep, he followed, “and that (one person) fired at the driver and the driver returned fire. Howard stated that he ran and realized he was shot and laid down in the grass in front of a residence,” the complaint says.

Later, the detective conducted a Mirandized interview with Howard. Howard stated that the third person in their group was the one that shot. Howard “stated that he did not hear what the driver of the Jeep said because he was the first person inside of the smoke shop.” The complaint says he also “stated that he is not dumb enough to shoot himself, and he does not have a firearm.”

The detective learned at Children’s Wisconsin that Howard suffered one bullet strike. He also “determined through the surveillance video and Howard’s pants recovered at the hospital that Howard likely did shoot himself in the leg when putting the firearm, seen in the video, in his pants,” the complaint says. The detective noted in the complaint that “the pants recovered had no bullet strike to them.”
According to the criminal complaint, surveillance video shows Howard’s friend exiting the smoke shop and firing shots at the Jeep. “Howard then exits and fires a shot at the black Jeep,” the complaint says.

Milwaukee Wave coach Marcio Leite 2025-26 team’s evolution in MASL
See first-year Milwaukee Wave head coach Marcio Leite discuss the roles of younger players and veterans as the 2025-26 MASL season begins.
The Milwaukee Wave had been in the awkward position of trying to sell tickets to the MASL championship series without knowing when it would actually host a game.
The questions were answered late April 19, when the San Diego Sockers beat the St. Louis Ambush in the other semifinal in overtime. Their series didn’t even start until four days after the Wave eliminated the Baltimore Blast with victories in a regulation Game 2 and knockout Game 3 at the UWM Panther Arena.
Now the finals are set for two of the most decorated teams in arena soccer.
The Wave will host Game 1 at 6:35 p.m. Wednesday, April 22 and then the series will finish at the Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, California, with Game 2 at 9:30 p.m. April 24 and a potential Game 3 at 9 p.m. April 27.
Three versions of the Sockers have totaled 16 championships in various indoor league with the latest iteration founded in 2009 owning six of those. The Wave has seven.
First-year Wave head coach Marcio Leite has won titles with both franchises.
