Myles Elliot Laster

Myles Elliot Laster was a young man from Milwaukee whose life, at just 20 years of age, touched family and community. Public records and local reporting identify him by name and note that he died on July 1, 2020. While there is no published, family-authorized obituary located in the sources reviewed, available accounts and public records make clear that Myles was more than the date recorded on official documents.

Those who knew him remember a person rooted in his neighborhood and family ties. Notices in municipal records—filed later by a person with the same surname—indicate family efforts to pursue formal matters following his passing, and local news coverage documents the community shock that followed his loss. Online memorial pages created to remember people lost to gun violence also list Myles by name and date, reflecting friends and neighbors who wished to honor him.

Because authoritative public tributes from a funeral home or family-published obituary were not found, this life story focuses on what can be respectfully verified: Myles was a young Black man from Milwaukee whose death on July 1, 2020, affected people who knew him. He was 20 years old at the time of his passing. The records and news coverage that mention him show a community that noticed his absence and sought answers, and they point to family members who later acted to manage legal and administrative steps that follow a loss.

Although specific details about Myles’s daily life, work, hobbies, or formal accomplishments are not available in the public sources reviewed, it is important to acknowledge that his life had meaning to those around him. The available public record shows family members seeking recourse and community outlets sharing condolences—signs that he was loved and remembered. Where public detail is limited, the absence of information should not be read as absence of life: friends, family, classmates, and neighbors carry private memories of his laughter, presence, and the ordinary ways he participated in life.

If you are a relative or friend and can provide additional, family-approved details—stories, photos, dates, or a published obituary—those contributions would help create a fuller, family-centered memorial. For now, this remembrance honors Myles Elliot Laster by affirming his identity, acknowledging the grief his passing caused, and recognizing that every life has value beyond public records.
