Milwaukee Man Charged with First-Degree Homicide in 2022 Brown Deer Double Murder CaseSource: Milwaukee County Jail

A second man has been charged in the fatal shootings of two brothers in Brown Deer, a case that dates back to 2022. Tamirat T. Mills, 20, of Milwaukee, now faces two counts of first-degree intentional homicide in connection with the deaths of Amarion Brown and Charlus Robinson, both 18 at the time of their killing on Sept. 1, 2022. According to a report from the Journal Sentinel, cellphone records and other electronic evidence are said to link Mills to the crime scene.

Last year, Joseph Tucker was sentenced to two consecutive life terms for his role in the incident. In an instance of tragic irony, it was a mother who found her own child unresponsive with gunshot wounds in her home near 62nd and Goodrich Lane, as CBS 58 detailed. During their investigation, authorities made the connecting between Tucker's presence in the house the night prior and the subsequent discovery of the victims' bodies. Mills, the second man recently charged, is said to have been present at the scene at the time of the homicides.

Upon further investigation, officers with a search warrant uncovered the body of Charlus Robinson in a vehicle in the driveway, having suffered two gunshot wounds to the head. Fox 6 News reported that additional information from the criminal complaint indicated surveillance footage shows both Tucker and Mills involved in unlawfully taking a Jeep from the residence, which was later found abandoned. This theft aligns with one individual's report in the criminal complaint, who mistook the sounds of the vehicle being stolen for routine usage by either Amarion or Charlus.

As this case continues to unfold in the court system, the broader narrative of violence in our communities is palpable. It's a story of lives cut short and the streets where joy and danger often walk hand in hand. With Tucker already serving his sentence, and Mills' legal process just beginning, the judiciary will again be asked to untangle the sequence of events that led to the senseless loss of two young lives. "Mills was charged Jan. 13, 2025 with two counts of first-degree intentional homicide and operating a motor vehicle without owner's consent," according to CBS 58. His initial court appearance on these charges was set for Jan. 14.
