MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A late night bike ride turned into a homicide in the heart of downtown Milwaukee. Now police want the people who were there that night to come forward. 

On Oct. 9, 19-year-old Jamal Abdullahi and a friend were riding their bikes downtown when they stopped at Swing Park, near Water and Van Buren Streets, and started talking to people there.

Abdullahi was shot and killed.
