Tyrone Doss charged in death of Korvette Holman-Bams

MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- 20-year-old Tyrone Doss is now criminally charged in connection with the death of Korvette Holman-Bams. Doss faces one count of felony murder and one count of possession of a firearm by a felon.

According to the criminal complaint, officers responded to a report of a shooting near 4th and Keefe shortly after 10 p.m. on Monday, September 2nd. When they arrived on the scene, the victim, Holman-Bams, had no pulse. He was later pronounced dead after suffering a gunshot wound to the back.

The complaint says MPD received a phone call from a citizen "who reported that his friend, later identified as Tyrone Doss, had been shot and that he needed medical attention. Doss was located roughly two blocks from the first shooting. Officers responded and Doss was taken to the hospital for two gunshot wounds.

According to the criminal complaint, Doss told police he and Holman-Bams had a discussion about doing a "lick" -- a term referring to committing a robbery. Their intended victim was a man they referred to as the "weed man."

The complaint indicates when Doss and Holman-Bams got to an alley near 4th and Keefe, they found the "weed man." They saw him "raise his gun and begin firing in their direction." Doss told police he began to run -- but he did not know what happened to Holman-Bams. Doss and Holman-Bams appear to both have been struck by bullets fired by the "weed man."

If convicted, Doss faces up to 35 years in prison.
