The two men were found dead from gunshot wounds inside the studio on Monday afternoon (Aug. 17).
According to reports, an unnamed 28-year-old has been arrested in the double shooting, though at press time no information was available on a possible motive, with the criminal charges referred to the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office.
A spokesperson for the Milwaukee Police Department confirmed to Billboard on Wednesday (Aug. 19) that officers are investigating the double-fatal shooting of what they described as a “33-year-old man and an unidentified victim [who] sustained fatal gunshot wounds and were pronounced deceased at the scene,” with the circumstances leading up to the shooting still under investigation.
Fox 6 reported that the two men were found dead after police were called to the building near 31st St. and Cameron Avenue around 3:40 p.m. on Monday, with family members describing Evans as a young father of three and up-and-coming rapper.
During a vigil on Tuesday (Aug. 18), his twin sister, Jaquaisa Evans, said she’d been wearing her late brother’s jackets to “feel like he’s close to me … I’ve been listening to his songs ever since.
Family members said Evans was at the studio with mentor Williams when they were killed and nephew TJ told WISN that the last thing he said to his uncle was, “‘I love you and be safe.’ He said, ‘I’m always safe.’ That was it.”.
Williams, a key member of the Milwaukee hip-hop scene, uploaded the video for his most recent single, the spare, double-time jam “Goldie/I Ain’t Lying” on Friday (Aug.
14). The prolific independent MC released the Paid But Not Full, Vol. 1 album earlier this year, the follow-up to a barrage of 2025 releases, including Streets Calling, the Don’t Talk 2 Much Vol.
