Gladys Johnson, a 22-year-old Milwaukee woman who was five months pregnant with a baby boy, was tragically found dead in her family home on Monday night, January 5, 2026. She was also the devoted mother of a 3-year-old daughter.
Johnson was discovered unresponsive in an upstairs bedroom of the residence near 26th and Hadley in the Amani neighborhood by her own mother, Michelle Johnson, just before 11:30 p.m., as firefighters responded to a house fire. Despite emergency efforts, Gladys was pronounced dead at the scene. The Milwaukee Medical Examiner's Office has ruled her death a homicide, though the exact cause remains under investigation.
