The story of a brutal shooting in Milwaukee’s recording studio has sent shockwaves through the city, leaving two young rappers tragically dead. On August 17, 2026, a man named Kelven Harris arrived at a recording studio, and a violent altercation quickly escalated into a deadly confrontation. According to police reports, Harris was involved in a dispute with two rappers, Lil Sheisty and Funny $Money, over a stolen firearm.
The incident began with a struggle between Harris and Sheisty, who allegedly snatched Harris’s 9mm handgun right out of his waistband during an argument about a family disagreement. Harris then refused to return the weapon, and the situation deteriorated into a physical altercation involving a headbutt. This triggered a desperate attempt to retrieve the handgun, leading to the grabbing of a different gun and subsequent gunfire.
Witnesses reported that Harris shot Sheisty because he believed the rapper was about to shoot him. After Harris attempted to retrieve the firearm, Funny $Money, who was attempting to grab another gun from the counter, fired back, resulting in the death of Harris. Police recovered eight bullet casings from the scene, all fired from the same weapon, confirming the gun’s origin.
Both victims, Lil Sheisty and Funny $Money, were found dead inside the studio, with multiple gunshot wounds. Harris later confessed to the shooting, stating that he acted out of a belief that someone had taken his gun from him, and he was attempting to recover it when he fired. Police recovered a Glock .40 caliber handgun from the river that matched the casings found at the crime scene, confirming the weapon’s connection to the incident.
Harris’s account to police indicated that he and Sheisty had a physical altercation where Harris grabbed another gun from the counter and opened fire. The investigation revealed that both victims were found to be deceased with multiple gunshot wounds. Funny $Money was immediately apprehended and charged with first-degree reckless homicide by use of a dangerous weapon, carrying a potential sentence of up to 60 years per count, totaling a potential 120 years in prison.
Fox6 Now reported that Harris’s case is part of a larger investigation into a series of gun-related incidents in Milwaukee. The charges include multiple counts of first-degree reckless homicide, which is classified as a Class B felony, punishable by up to 60 years per count, or a potential life sentence.
This tragedy highlights the dangers of disputes and the potential for violence within the music industry. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are working to determine the full circumstances of the shooting.
