MILWAUKEE — A 38-year-old Milwaukee man was charged with first degree reckless homicide in connection to a fatal shooting near 12th and Locustin May.
Corelius D. Bunch, 38, was charged with first degree reckless homicide and possession of a firearm by a felon.
According to a criminal complaint filed May 10, the Milwaukee Police Department (MPD) responded to the 2900 block of N. 12th Street for a shooting on May 5. Upon arrival, police found an adult man face-down on the sidewalk. Despite lifesaving measures, the man was pronounced dead. An autopsy revealed the man died from several gunshot wounds. Near the residence, a detective located eight .22 caliber cartridge casings.
According to the complaint, a witness told a detective that he was sitting in his car near the home when he heard loud arguing across the street.

The witness said he did not know the other person, but said it was a drinking associate of "Tommy," the complaint says.

The witness told a detective, he heard the man say to Tommy that he wanted "six minutes" which means he wanted to fight Tommy. The witness said he saw Tommy go inside a home and then the man began apologizing to Tommy. According to the complaint, the witness said Tommy came outside with a semi-automatic pistol in his hand. He then witnessed Tommy shoot the man six to seven times, the complaint says.
The witness identified Bunch as "Tommy Two-Watches" from a photo array, according to a complaint.
Bunch has his initial appearance in court on Saturday. If convicted, he faces up to 70 years in prison and a $25,000 fine.
