Three Milwaukee men charged in Menomonee Falls home burglary that ended in gunfire

Three Milwaukee men have been charged in connection with an early-morning home invasion in Menomonee Falls where a person in the home was shot and injured.

The incident took place around 2:40 a.m. Aug. 18 at a home on Weyer Farm Drive. The person who was shot ― a relative staying at the home ― was taken to the hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries, according to Menomonee Falls police and a criminal complaint filed Friday in Waukesha County Circuit Court.

The complaint details the charges against Zamontae Burch, 22; Dezmen Wilks, 25; and Demetri Duvall-Wilks, 23.

According to the complaint:

The three used a stolen vehicle to commit the crime. The 2002 Jeep Liberty was reported stolen Aug. 18 from the city of Milwaukee.

The defendants said they planned to enter vehicles in the area “where rich people leave them unlocked.”

Wilks told police they entered about 20 vehicles in Menomonee Falls and also entered the home on Weyer Farm Drive when they found it unlocked.
