Milwaukee, WI – November 17, 2025 – The Milwaukee community is grappling with a shocking and tragic crime that has left two victims dead and a child abandoned on the streets. Kevin Duane Griffin, 54, has been charged with the fatal shooting of his tenant, 39-year-old Terrance Wilder, and the subsequent killing of 31-year-old A’nya Raymond, who witnessed the event. The details of the crime have left both the families involved and the public reeling.
The Incident
On November 4, 2025, Griffin reportedly shot and killed Terrance Wilder, a tenant he had been attempting to evict from a property located on North 12th Street. Griffin later admitted to the shooting, telling investigators he killed Wilder in the process of trying to evict him. After the killing, Griffin allegedly shot and killed A’nya Raymond, a witness to the murder, before disposing of her remains in an alley. Authorities discovered Raymond’s body in the alley shortly afterward.
Impact on Raymond’s Child
One of the most heartbreaking aspects of this case is the fate of Raymond’s young child. Prosecutors indicated that the boy may have witnessed his mother’s murder and was later found wandering the streets alone, his clothes stained with blood. The child was eventually located by authorities, but the traumatic experience has left the family and community deeply shaken.
Raymond’s mother, Misty Raymond, expressed her grief in a heart-wrenching post on a GoFundMe page: “I just got the most heartbreaking news any parent could receive. That my grandson was found wandering the streets without shoes, and that my daughter was found fatally shot and left in an alley. My heart and mind are weighed down by immense sorrow.”
Charges and Legal Proceedings
Griffin has been charged with first-degree intentional homicide, first-degree reckless homicide, and unlawful possession of a firearm, due to his prior felony conviction. In his first court appearance on November 16, Court Commissioner Maria S. Dorsey set his bond at $500,000. Griffin is scheduled to return for a preliminary hearing on November 26, though it is currently unknown whether he has secured legal counsel.
