MILWAUKEE — A 28-year-old Milwaukee man has been charged in connection with a deadly shooting outside of a bar that killed 26-year-old security guard Andre Gregory, and injured two others.
According to the criminal complaint, Trevante Young is facing several charges in connection to the shooting:
- First-degree reckless homicide
- First-degree reckless injury (two counts)
- Possession of a firearm by a felon
According to the Wisconsin Court Access, a warrant for Young’s arrest has been issued, which means he is not in custody.
The shooting happened outside Eve Lounge near Fond du Lac Ave. & Baldwin St. on Jan. 28., early in the morning.
Two 34-year-olds were also injured and taken to the hospital.
Thomas Holmes, the owner of Eve Lounge, said a group of people came into the lounge shortly before 1 a.m. to confront a man inside.
He and Gregory escorted the men outside and worked to de-escalate a fight. According to the criminal complaint, Young eventually left the lounge, went back to his car, and then returned. Shortly afterward, he is captured on camera firing a gun.
The criminal complaint states there is a video of Young continuing to shoot as he runs from the scene, although investigators say it's possible others involved in the argument shot back.
The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office says Gregory was killed by two gunshot wounds to the back.
According to the criminal complaint, Young has a previous felony conviction for armed robbery.
Over the phone, Holmes told TMJ4 that Gregory was “one of the most wonderful people to meet” and that he “loved making people smile”.
Holmes shared that Gregory had worked there for roughly a year. The lounge has been open for six years.
