Early Monday morning, a shooting erupted near Holton St. and Center St. in Milwaukee's Harambee neighborhood, leaving three individuals with gunshot wounds. The victims, a 21-year-old, a 23-year-old, and a 26-year-old, were all rushed to the hospital with injuries that were confirmed to be non-fatal. According to WISN, the incident occurred around 1:30 a.m., and authorities have yet to make any arrests in connection with the shooting.
The search for the suspect or suspects continues, as Milwaukee police work to piece together what led up to the violent event. CBS58 reports that authorities have not disclosed further details regarding the circumstances of the shooting. Meanwhile, locals were startled by the episode, with a neighbor recounting to FOX6 News how they awoke to "a rapid fire of gunshots" that shattered a window in their building.
Authorities are currently appealing to the public for assistance. Anyone with information about the incident is urged to contact the Milwaukee police or to submit anonymous tips through Crime Stoppers. The close proximity of the shooting to Cream City Social, a local restaurant, was noted by WISN, which observed police moving in and out of the establishment following the incident. However, it is unclear whether the restaurant has any direct link to the shooting.
Additionally, the violence led to a secondary incident, where a fourth person was sent to the hospital due to injuries sustained from shattered glass, as FOX6 News details. Milwaukee police continue to actively investigate and are likely to provide updates as the situation develops.
