Gunfire on Milwaukee’s north side turned a residential block into a sprawling crime scene Saturday morning, leaving multiple people injured and rattling neighbors near the intersection of West Cheyenne Street and North Darien Street. Milwaukee police flooded the area, throwing up crime-scene tape around a wide perimeter as investigators moved methodically along the block. At least one nearby apartment complex fell inside the taped-off zone, and officers laid out numerous evidence markers across the street and sidewalk, as per TMJ4.
According to TMJ4, a heavy police presence locked down the intersection, where “dozens of evidence markers” dotted the ground near an apartment building. Reporter Noa Rosen noted that the station was still working to confirm how many people were hurt and whether police had identified any suspects.
