5 Milwaukee shooting victims identified, suspected gunman was 17-year electrician at brewery

Milwaukee authorities have identified the five victims who were killed by a co-worker during a shooting rampage at the Molson Coors Beverage Co. campus Wednesday, and they also identified the suspected gunman who died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The victims are Jesus Valle Jr., 33, of Milwaukee; Gennady Levshetz, 61, of Mequon; Trevor Wetselaar, 33, of Milwaukee; Dana Walk, 57, of Delafield, and 50-year-old Dale Hudson of Waukesha.

Milwaukee police identified the suspected shooter as Anthony N. Ferrill, 51, who worked for the brewing giant for 17 years as an electrician. Police Chief Alfonso Morales did not release a motive for the killings, but the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel said Ferrill had a long-running feud with another co-worker that erupted just before the shooting.

A co-worker told the newspaper that Ferrill believed he was being discriminated against because he was African-American. The source said he frequently watched movies on his phone during the day, leading to disputes between him and another electrician, who was one of Wednesday's victims.

Perhaps “electrician” for 17, but maybe worked there in another capacity, part-time pre-trade?

Were all of his victims white? He was black, a Union member and Democrat. No wonder this is fading from the MSM quickly.

From Heavy:

Anthony Ferrill, identified as the gunman, worked at the MillerCoors brewery, and later at the Molson Coors brewery, for more than 20 years, as an electrician.

From a 2019 article

MillerCoors announced a major plan to reorganize its business model on Wednesday.

The MillerCoors name will officially be retired and the company will be called Molson Coors Brewing Company.

So it sounds to me he has worked at the same place, and that restructuring plan entailed a name change to the brewery.

Still confused, but that's normal. 8>)

Could be, but the Heavy article says he has been an electrician for more than 20 years. See my post previous to this one. 8>)

Looked like local officials and the media were hiding something.

“Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee, four miles west of the brewery, was prepared to accept victims of the shooting but none arrived, the Journal Sentinel reported. That report was later backed up by Matthew Keys. Froedtert is the only Level-1 trauma center in the area.”

Who Is Anthony Ferrill? Milwaukee Brewery Shooter Identified As Longtime Molson Coors Employee Unconfirmed reports speculated that the gunman's possible motive came from the racism of other brewery workers.

Unconfirmed reports speculated that the gunman's possible motive came from the racism of other brewery workers.

Loaded headline / byline- making a key assumption.

>>> Unconfirmed reports

>>> speculated

>>> possible motive

he believed his co-workers were coming into his home, “bugging his computer and moving chairs around.”

Everyone has stories about crazy coworkers (right?). Some people are downright frightening.

Most of them don't commit murder, though. When one does, everyone looks back and wonders why no one saw this coming.

I read that the guy was recently fired and if that’s the motive it seems that he wouldn’t have had a hard time getting another job.

Not if he was lazy and stupid, and because of the government forcing companies at the point of a gun to keep those kind on the payroll for decades if they fit into a certain protected category, this guy could very well have been one of those.

I figured he was a POC when they waited a full day to show a picture of him, even though the said his age and where he worked an hour after the shooting.
