A Friday night confrontation on Milwaukee's East Capitol Drive turned violent when gunfire broke out in the 400 block, leaving four people with gunshot injuries, according to Milwaukee police. A 24-year-old victim was taken to a hospital for treatment, while three others, a 29-year-old, a 16-year-old and a 20-year-old, declined medical care at the scene.
Officers say they believe the shooting may have followed an argument, and the suspect is still on the run. The Milwaukee Police Department is investigating the non-fatal incident, as reported by TMJ4. Detectives have not released a suspect description or a detailed motive beyond the reported argument, and no arrests have been announced.
