Jacquise Harris

Jacquise M. Harris — often called “Que” or “Quise” by those close to him — was a young Milwaukee man whose life touched family and friends. Public remembrance messages described him as calm, loving, and not one for conflict, giving a glimpse of a person who valued peace in everyday relationships. Though only 24 at the time of his death, the memories shared by those who knew him suggest he was someone who left an impression through small, steady qualities rather than loud accomplishments.

Harris lived in Milwaukee and was part of the city’s community of young adults navigating work, family, and friendships. On August 30, 2021, he was fatally shot near North 24th Place and West Capitol Drive; he was transported to a local hospital and later pronounced dead. Local reporting from that night identified a 24-year-old man as the fatality in one of two separate shootings in the city; police asked for witnesses to come forward as the investigation continued. Public records and news coverage located during research do not show a later public announcement of an arrest or prosecution tied to his death.

Because there is no published, family-authorized obituary matching the name and the exact date of death located in the reliable public record during this research, this life story draws from available local reporting and memorial postings. The public tributes that do exist emphasize that Harris was known by loved ones for his gentle temperament and his inclination to avoid drama — details that help humanize him beyond the brief public account of how he died. Those memories suggest a person whose everyday character mattered to people who cared about him.

For family, friends, and community members who wish to honor Jacquise Harris, these verified details and the recollections shared publicly stand as a reminder that a young life mattered. Though public records about his life are limited, the dignity and affection in the messages left by those who knew him preserve a small but important portrait of who he was: a calm, loving presence in the lives of others.
