Two separate bursts of early morning gunfire sent two people to Milwaukee hospitals on Saturday, with detectives now working both crime scenes, according to police.
Officers say the first shooting was reported at about 3:05 a.m. on the 2500 block of S. 6th Street and left a 20-year-old with gunshot injuries. The second incident came a few hours later, around 7:37 a.m., on the 3100 block of W. Scott Street, where a 35-year-old was wounded. Both victims were taken to local hospitals, and investigators are processing evidence at each location.
Police Are Seeking Leads
The Milwaukee Police Department is asking anyone who knows anything about either shooting to step up. Tipsters can call detectives at (414) 935-7360, reach Crime Stoppers at (414) 224-TIPS, or use the P3 Tips app to remain anonymous, as reported by TMJ4. The station reports that investigators are searching for suspects and are reviewing video and witness statements while they work to figure out what led up to the gunfire.
Recent Local Context
These early morning shootings land on top of several other violent scenes that have kept Milwaukee detectives busy this month. A May 26 daylight shooting left a 33-year-old injured, and earlier in May, WISN covered north-side investigations where officers canvassed neighborhoods and processed evidence. Those reports show police have repeatedly leaned on video and public tips as they chase down leads.
How You Can Help
Police say both investigations remain active and that more details will be released as they are confirmed. The Milwaukee Police Department regularly pushes out tip requests and incident notices through press releases carried by local outlets such as Urban Milwaukee. Anyone with information or footage from either scene is urged to contact MPD or Crime Stoppers so detectives can follow up.
