Night Of Gunfire Rattles Milwaukee As Three Shot In Separate Attacks

Three people were shot in two separate incidents across Milwaukee on Monday night, turning an already tense summer evening into another round of police tape and flashing lights. A 36-year-old man was wounded near 32nd and Thurston around 8:25 p.m., and less than 90 minutes later, a 22-year-old and a 33-year-old were hit near 25th and Hope. All three were taken to local hospitals, and police say their injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

Investigators are treating the scenes as separate cases. Both remain under active investigation, and as of Monday night, no arrests had been announced.

Shootings, Timeline And Victims

According to FOX6 News Milwaukee, the first shooting unfolded around 8:25 p.m. near 32nd and Thurston, where a 36-year-old man was struck. Milwaukee police say detectives are searching for a known suspect in that case.

The second round of gunfire came at about 9:45 p.m. near 25th and Hope, FOX6 News Milwaukee reports. A 22-year-old and a 33-year-old were shot and taken to the hospital with injuries described as non-life-threatening. Investigators are still working to determine what led up to each shooting and whether any surveillance video or additional witnesses can help fill in the gaps.

Police Investigating; Tips Requested

With both cases open, officials are urging residents who saw or heard anything to speak up. Anyone with information is asked to contact Milwaukee police at 414-935-7360 or submit an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers at 414-224-TIPS or through the P3 Tips app, according to reporting by Urban Milwaukee.

The department is also leaning on its summer crime-fighting strategy. As detailed in a May 21 press release from the Milwaukee Police Department, Operation Summer Guardian adds extra officers in neighborhoods that include Thurston Woods. The effort is designed to cut down on gunfire and step up community outreach during the warmer months.

What’s Next

Both investigations remain active as detectives follow up on leads, canvass the areas, and review any available video or witness accounts. According to FOX6 News Milwaukee, the station’s report is based on information provided by the Milwaukee Police Department. Authorities say they expect to release more details as the cases develop and are urging anyone with tips or footage to come forward.
