Nov. 24: South Milwaukee armed robbery
A victim got off a bus and went into a grocery store near Chicago and Blake, a criminal complaint states. When the victim left the store around 6:10 p.m., he said he noticed someone was following him.
Prosecutors said the suspect – later identified as Moore – pushed the victim down on Columbia Avenue and told him to hand over his phone and wallet. When the victim refused and started to fight back, he said the suspect pulled out a gun and said: “Don’t hit me, or I will shoot you.”

The victim then handed over his wallet and phone, per the complaint, and the suspect also took a gold cross necklace before he ran off. The wallet had $915 cash inside, as well as a debit card, insurance card and the victim’s ID.
Court filings said surveillance video from an MCTS bus showed both the victim and the suspect on board until both men got off at the same stop. Video from a nearby business showed the victim going into the grocery store and, when the victim left the store, the suspect emerged from a wooded area. The suspect then followed the victim through the parking lot, and a different camera showed the suspect continuing to follow the victim until they were both out of camera view.
Dec. 11: South Milwaukee property damage, theft
A South Milwaukee woman reported a possible break-in shortly after 1 p.m. The criminal complaint states she came home and noticed her doorbell camera had been smashed. She watched video from a different camera that showed a suspect – later identified as Moore – smash the camera.

Later that same day, around 4 p.m., police were called to the area of 10th and Milwaukee. Court filings said two victims said they were doing roof repairs and returned to their work van to find their backpacks, which had their wallets inside, had been stolen.
Video showed the suspect – later identified as Moore – going into the van and walking away with two backpacks. The suspect was wearing similar clothing to the person who smashed the doorbell camera.

Dec. 14: Milwaukee theft
Milwaukee police were called to a bar on Menomonee Street in the Historic Third Ward around 2:25 p.m. Prosecutors said a victim told officers he was sitting outside with his cellphone on the table in front of him when a suspect grabbed it and ran.
The victim got up to chase the suspect – later identified as Moore – and did so for roughly a block, the complaint states, before going back to the bar and activating the tracking device on his phone.
Officers used the tracking information and began to search for the phone and suspect, ultimately spotting the suspect near 1st and Florida, where court filings said the phone had pinged. The suspect began to walk faster once he saw the officer, but the officer did not stop the suspect because he didn’t think the suspect was “close enough to the ping location.”

Prosecutors said the officer kept following the phone’s ping and went to the area of 5th and National, where he saw the same suspect again. This time, the suspect began to jog away, and the officer caught up with the suspect on Washington Street – where the suspect began to run through yards.
Updates on the phone location, per the complaint, “matched the route” that the officer saw the suspect running. Eventually, the officer caught up to and spoke to the suspect, who identified himself as Moore and took four phones out of his pockets – including the one stolen on Menomonee Street. Police also found a gun inside Moore’s backpack; he did not have a concealed carry permit.
Dec. 17: Cudahy theft
According to the complaint, a victim told police he was at a laundromat near Packard and Ramsey when a suspect snatched his cellphone around 10 a.m. He said he yelled for the suspect to give it back, but the suspect ran.
The victim then got into a witness’ car, prosecutors said, and the two drove around the neighborhood to look for the suspect together. Once they spotted the suspect, the victim got out and chased after the suspect on Birchwood Avenue. He kept chasing the suspect into a bank parking lot, where officers arrived.
Court filings said both the victim and witnesses identified the cellphone theft suspect at the scene, and surveillance video from the laundromat corroborated the victim’s statement. Officers recognized the suspect – ultimately identified as Moore – from MCTS surveillance images related to the November armed robbery case out of South Milwaukee.

In custody
Upon his arrest, court filings said Moore was wearing a dark blue jacket with a “distinctive tear” on the front. The tear was visible on the suspect’s jacket in the MCTS video, the doorbell camera damage video and the van theft video. The MCTS video, in which the suspect was unmasked, was the same person who Cudahy police arrested nearly a month later.
In all, Moore is charged with:
- Armed robbery
- Theft of movable property (two counts)
- Misdemeanor theft of movable property
- Misdemeanor criminal damage to property
- Misdemeanor carrying a concealed weapon
Moore made his initial appearance on Dec. 22. Court records show bond was set at $10,000.
MILWAUKEE – A Milwaukee man, previously named one of Wisconsin’s Most Wanted, has been sentenced to prison for shooting and killing his cousin in 2020.

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.

Michigan wins the national championship over UConn
Michigan beats UConn to win the national championship and we break down how they did it and where both programs go from here.
Loyalty is a word you rarely hear anymore when it comes to college sports.
Amare Hereford is an exception.
The night before he was able to put pen to paper and make his commitment to the UW-Milwaukee men’s basketball team official earlier this week, the Beloit Memorial standout was invited for an on-campus visit with the Wisconsin Badgers.
Hereford did his due diligence. What player wouldn’t have in his position?
“Me being an 18-year-old kid, my first high major [visit], I just decided to go check it out,” Hereford said.
UW put on the full-court press in an attempt to lock down the Wisconsin “Mr. Basketball” finalist.
“They offered me a scholarship,” Hereford said. “It all happened so fast. It was all within a day.”
Hereford went home, processed the situation with his family and came to a decision.
He would honor his commitment to the Panthers, with his signature cementing the deal and UWM announcing the news Thursday, April 16.
“No, it wasn’t really hard to turn down,” Hereford said, referring to UW’s offer. “I love every school and I appreciate every school that reaches out to me. But I’m going to choose a school that I have a great relationship with, with all the coaching staff, and that’s been thinking highly of me and recruited me for the longest time. And that was the Panthers.
“Wisconsin is a great school, of course. But I’m going to the school that has been with me for the longest time.”
The 6-foot-2, 175-pound Hereford is a huge addition for a Panthers squad that, like so many other programs due to transfer portal madness, is in the midst of rebuilding its roster for the 2026-2027 season almost from scratch.
“Amare will be a star here at Milwaukee,” coach Bart Lundy said. “He will be a fan favorite from the beginning. He is a complete basketball player but probably has as good of an ability to score as I’ve seen in any high school player. He is a great student and a great worker and completely fits our culture.
“We are so excited that he will represent the city of Milwaukee and the state and especially his hometown of Beloit.”
Indeed, Hereford put the ball through the net for Beloit Memorial at a prodigious rate, averaging 37.5 points per game – tops in the state – as a senior. He finished as the school’s all-time leading scorer with 2,493 points in four years.
Hereford also poured in 49 points in his final high school game, a WIAA sectional semifinal loss to Verona last month.
Hereford was tough to guard going to the basket as his 60.7% shooting this past season indicates, but he also shot a terrific 45% from from 3-point range (81 for 180) and capitalized on all the contact he drew to the tune of 83% accuracy at the free-throw line.
More than just a scorer, though, Hereford also finished with team-leading averages of 8.5 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 3.9 steals per game.
“My playing style fits the way [the Panthers] play – they get up and down, play fast,” Hereford said. “Coach Lundy said he definitely sees me running [point guard], having the ball in my hands, playing the same way I did in high school, finding teammates, getting to the rim and scoring at all three levels.”
Defense is typically where newcomers experience the biggest growing pains, learning the all-out effort it takes to guard at a high level on every possession.
Hereford, however, indicates he’s more than just a scorer.
“I love playing defense,” he said. “Hitting the gaps, getting steals and different things like that, being active with my hands a lot. I’m definitely looking forward to getting pushed defensively and picking up the ball full court, on-ball pressure in the half court.”
Hereford took his visit to UWM in mid-March, after the season had been completed, but saw enough games on TV to cement his opinion of the challenge ahead.
“The Horizon League is amazing,” he said. “There’s a lot of guards who play the same way I play, like to get up and down, play fast. That’s why I love Coach Lundy and the Panthers and the rest of the staff. They let guys be themselves. They play fast, get up and down, play together as one.
“They let everybody touch the ball and be themselves.”
Before Wisconsin entered the picture, Hereford said he’d narrowed his school choices to UWM and San Diego, where Whitefish Bay Dominican product and former Iowa State assistant JR Blount has taken over as head coach.
Now, Hereford projects as an important piece in the Panthers’ rebuilding process.
“Coach Lundy and the staff, they believe in me heavy. And I just want to prove them right,” Hereford said. “I want them to see that I can come in and make a huge impact right away for the team and in the Horizon League.
“I’m definitely going to come in and compete for my minutes. And obviously, I want to stay there.
“So, definitely looking forward to coming in and earning my spot.”
