On Tuesday morning, Misto posted a photo on social media. He stood right beside his young daughter, beaming with pride as she took her first steps into the new school year. By Friday night, he was dead.
Milwaukee police reported that the 37-year-old local resident was shot and killed around 6:30 p.m. near 12th Street and Keefe Avenue. First responders arrived at the scene shortly after calls came in, but paramedics pronounced him dead right on site.
Known across the neighborhood and on social media as Misto NBG, he described himself in his Instagram bio as a public street figure. To those who knew him personally, he was far more than an online profile. Friends and neighbors remembered him as a steady presence in the community, someone who always stood behind his beliefs and supported those around him.
Just weeks before the shooting, Misto was out participating in a local youth event. In August, he attended a basketball camp hosted by NBA star Kevon Looney, posing for pictures alongside the Golden State Warriors forward while spending time with local kids.
Family members said Misto was dedicated to his children and his extended family. Beyond his own household, he acted as an uncle and mentor to numerous young people across the city, giving them encouragement and someone to look up to.
The sudden loss sent shockwaves through the community, with friends sharing tributes and memories of a man they viewed as a reliable leader. Many expressed deep grief that a father who cared so much for his kids was taken away so quickly.
Milwaukee police have released few details about what triggered the shooting. Investigators confirmed they are actively looking for a known suspect, though no arrests have been announced as the investigation continues.
