Milwaukee police are searching for an 18-year-old man they say opened fire during a July 4 gathering near 36th and Thurston, killing a 19-year-old woman in the street in broad daylight.

Investigators have identified the suspect as Zurishaddai “Zeke” Goodlow. He is charged with first‑degree reckless homicide, and police are urging anyone who knows where he is to contact authorities.

Warrant and evidence

An arrest warrant for Goodlow lists one count of first‑degree reckless homicide and use of a dangerous weapon, according to CBS 58. A criminal complaint cited by the station says cellphone video from a witness shows Goodlow pull a firearm and shoot toward a group of people.

Scene and response

The shooting happened on July 4 at about 4:22 p.m. near 36th and Thurston, and the 19-year-old victim was pronounced dead at the scene, as reported by FOX6 Milwaukee. Police are asking anyone with information to call the Milwaukee Police Department at 414‑935‑7360 or Crime Stoppers at 414‑224‑TIPS.

Victim identified

The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner has identified the victim as 19-year-old Savannah Lynn, according to CBS 58. The criminal complaint quoted in that report says witnesses told investigators Lynn had been telling people to leave when the suspect opened fire.

What’s next

The warrant authorizes police to arrest Goodlow if and when he is located and taken into custody. Prosecutors will determine formal charging once he is arrested. The investigation remains active, and police say tips from the public could be crucial in tracking down the person accused in the killing.
