>>44-Year-Old Milwaukee Man Charged In Double Murder At Dice Game
(Milwaukee, WI) — A 44-year-old Milwaukee man faces four felony charges in a double-murder on the city’s north side. Investigators say Antonio Mays shot two men to death March 15th.

Witnesses told a different story. They say a relative of Mays lost money in a dice game and a few minutes later Mays came in and started shooting. Thirty-four-year-old Romale Richardson and 20-year-old Malyk Smith were killed.
