Two individuals were wounded in a shooting occurring on Milwaukee’s northwest side on Monday night. The incident, which took place near North 60th Street and West Port Avenue around 9 p.m., resulted in non-fatal injuries for a 39-year-old and a 34-year-old, both of whom have been taken to the hospital. As of yet, the circumstances leading to the shooting remain unknown, and the Milwaukee Police Department continues to search for the responsible parties, according to FOX6.
Further details provided by WISN specify that there have been no arrests made in connection with this incident. Law enforcement is urging anyone with information to come forward and provide assistance to the investigation. The public can contact Milwaukee Police or submit anonymous tips through Milwaukee Crime Stoppers.
Earlier, a separate tragic incident on the city's north side resulted in two fatalities, as reported by CBS 58. The apparent murder-suicide at 12th and Concordia involved 24-year-old John Michael Angelo Childress Jr. and 27-year-old Xavier Smith, who were found deceased at the scene.
"It is a pretty quiet neighborhood, so it was kind of a shock when it did happen," neighbor Lyahel Avery told CBS 58, describing the unexpected nature of violence in the area. Despite the rarity of such events, the police are not searching for any suspects in this particular case, suggesting that the actors involved are accounted for. Anyone with further information is still encouraged to reach out to Milwaukee police.
