A 19-year-old in Wisconsin accused of killing his father by shooting him 31 times last October has been arrested after several months on the run. Djuan Eskridge was taken into custody on Wednesday and charged with one count of first-degree reckless homicide and one count of using a dangerous weapon in the commission of a felony in the slaying of William J. Eskridge, court documents reviewed by Law&Crime show.

According to a probable cause affidavit obtained by Law&Crime, officers with the Milwaukee Police Department on Oct. 9, 2023, responded to a report of a shooting at a residence in the 3800 block of N. 7th Street in Milwaukee. Upon arriving at the scene, first responders said they observed an adult male — later identified as William Eskridge — dead on the ground. The body was surrounded by spent shell casings and he was pronounced dead on the scene.

Authorities first spoke to Djuan Eskridge’s grandmother, who said that the victim was her adult son and that it was her grandson and the victim’s son who gunned him down, per the affidavit.

The grandmother said that Djuan Eskridge showed up at the house earlier that evening with his brother and two other individuals whom she did not know. Djuan’s brother and William Eskridge allegedly got into a physical confrontation during which Djuan Eskridge produced a firearm and shot his father multiple times. William Eskridge was not armed at any time, per the affidavit.

After the initial salvo from Djuan Eskridge, his grandmother said William Eskridge fell to the ground.

“(The grandmother) stated that after (William Eskridge) fell to the ground, the defendant walked closer to him and shot additional rounds at (William Eskridge,)” the affidavit states.
