According to a probable cause arrest affidavit obtained by Law&Crime, Milwaukee police responded around 7:30 a.m. to a ShotSpotter report of gunfire in the 2700 block of N. 18th Street on the city’s north side. When they arrived they found a woman, later identified as Timmons, suffering from a gunshot wound to her side. Paramedics pronounced her dead on scene.

Detectives found nine shell casings about 65 feet from Timmons’ body. Cops spoke with one of her sons, who said he woke up to gunfire and looked outside his bedroom window. He saw his mom on the ground and a man with a “distinct limp” walking away from her. The son ran outside to aid his mother, who was breathing but not responsive. He later realized the man he saw walking away was Fuller, whom he had known for about seven years and was the father of his younger siblings. He also identified Fuller from his arrest photo and said he was wearing the same clothes as the man he saw earlier in the day, according to the affidavit.

Surveillance video captured Fuller’s movements prior to the shooting. It showed him walking around the house as Timmons returned to her home in a van. As she got out, she saw Fuller approach her.
