A Milwaukee man has been charged in the deaths of six people last January on the city's northside.
Travis Birkley, 34, has been charged with six counts of felony murder resulting from an armed robbery – party to a crime, according to court documents.According to a criminal complaint, police were called to the home near 21st and Wright on Jan. 23 around 3:30 p.m. When police arrived, they found two people outside the home who said "there’s two bodies down there." Police surveyed the three-story home and found three bodies in the basement, which appeared to be sleeping.
On the kitchen floor, detectives found a bronze-fired 9mm cartridge casing. In the common room, between the bodies of Michelle and Donta, Detective Smith found an additional seven fired 9mm cartridge casings. Elsewhere in that room, they found an additional two fired 9mm cartridge casings and a last fired 9mm cartridge casing in the upstairs living room. There were a total of 10 fired 9mm cartridge casings in the upper unit of the residence.
A friend of the victims said she would go there almost daily to buy and use K2, synthetic marijuana, which was sold there. She stated she was at the residence on January 19 and saw Donta Williams, Donald Smith, Michelle Williams, and Charles Hardy all present. She stated that while she was there, Donta Williams was on someone’s Facebook Live counting out his profits from selling K2. She stated that he counted up to $16,000 while she was there.
Once the female caller is transferred to the Milwaukee Fire Department operator, she again repeated the address of 2505 N. 24th place and now stated that four other people in the house were also shot. The female caller stated that she was shot in the face and begins to ask for help. The line is disconnected. Milwaukee Police are immediately dispatched to the address. Five different Milwaukee police squads are dispatched to the residence and determine that the address does not exist.
During a review of his cell phone, detectives located a "selfie" that had been taken using the cell phone. The "selfie" is taken on January 20 at 10:25 a.m. The picture shows the defendant in what appears to be a basement. The walls, pipes and other distinguishing markings in the photo, police were able to locate a spot in the basement of 2505 N. 21st St that corresponds with that photo.
