Case details

Around 10:30 p.m. that night, the victim said she heard a “loud boom” and felt a pain in her leg – noting a welt, a bullet hole in her bathtub and a bullet on the floor.
A criminal complaint states police also found four bullet strikes to the back of the home, one of which would’ve gone into the bathroom – where it went through the bathtub and hit the victim in the leg.
At the scene, the complaint states officers found eight spent bullet casings – all of which were fired from the same gun.
Surveillance video showed a silver Honda pull up just before 10:30 p.m. and the driver’s door opened. The camera feed cut out just after that point, but the complaint states it took another clip shortly after that showed the Honda drive away.

Per the complaint, police were already monitoring Jenkins’ social media because he was wanted for a “probation/parole violation.” On Dec. 3, he posted a video that showed him inside a similar vehicle near 6th and Canal. Pole cameras from that area at that time showed a Honda driving that “appears to be the same” as the one seen near 111th and Daphne. Additional surveillance taken minutes later showed the Honda pull up at a downtown hotel and the driver – Jenkins – get out.
Jenkins was arrested as part of the U.S. Marshals Service “Operation North Star II.”

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.
