Jordan Tate found guilty in fatal Brownstone Social Lounge shooting

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Jordan Tate has been found guilty in the homicide of Krystal Tucker.

The jury returned a guilty verdict early Friday morning, July 21. Tate was charged with one count of first-degree intentional homicide and two counts of first-degree reckless injury with a dangerous weapon.  

Thirty-one-year-old Tucker was shot and killed while working the door of Brownstone Social Lounge in 2022.

Prosecutors say Tate opened fire after getting into an altercation with security guards over the bar's age requirement. On the night of the shooting, you had to be at least 27 years old to enter. Tate was 25. 

Two other employees, both security guards were injured in the shooting and survived.

The trial began Monday and closing arguments were held Thursday. Also on Thursday, Tate took the stand and told his side of the story, claiming the shooting was in self-defense and that he feared one of the security guards had a gun and would harm him. The jury however did not agree and convicted Tate on all charges.

Tate is scheduled to be sentenced Aug. 29. Tucker's family is expected to appear at the sentencing via video conference.
