Crime Stoppers Crime of the Week: Man fatally shot 1 day after being released from jail

NOW: Crime Stoppers Crime of the Week: Man fatally shot 1 day after being released from jail

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A man was walking down the street, only to be shot multiple times and killed. The only things left behind were six 9-millimeter gun casings that haven't led to a suspect.

It happened around 8:30 a.m. on Nov. 16 at 13th and Burleigh. 

Police say Timothy Sidner was walking down the street when a man approached him and shot him six times.

The suspect had a getaway car waiting and drove off. Sidney died on the scene, just one day after his life took a major turn.

"Sometimes the victims we profile here are involved in things they shouldn't be involved in," said MPD Captain Craig Sarnow. "It seems that this victim may have been using drugs prior to this happening. I think what is unique about this case is the victim was just released from jail a day earlier. He wasn't even out of jail a day and now he is deceased."

Investigators don't know who the suspect is. 

Anyone with information is asked to contact Milwaukee Crime Stoppers at 414-224-TIPS.  

Your call is anonymous and could lead to a $1,000 reward.
