The shooting near Water and Juneau on May 13, 2022 wounded 17 people. Hundreds of people were in the area at the time. According to prosecutors, the incident started when Siller saw someone with whom he had a long-standing issue.
Surveillance cameras captured the shooting. That video, according to prosecutors, showed Jackson-Milton pulling out a handgun while facing the individual with whom Siller had an issue. When this happened, the other person started shooting.
In all, prosecutors said the five people charged – Siller, Jackson-Milton, Terrell Milton, Christopher Murry and Marquis Jackson – fired back. The man Siller had an issue with was seen running from the scene, continuing to fire shots.
