Overnight gunfire left three people injured in three separate shootings across Milwaukee late Saturday into early Sunday, according to police. The incidents unfolded within a few hours of one another and involved victims ranging from a 17-year-old to a 36-year-old. Police said they are still looking for suspects in all three shootings.
Police Timeline and Victims
According to the Milwaukee Police Department as reported by FOX6 News Milwaukee, the first shooting was reported around 9:45 p.m. Saturday, July 4, when a 17-year-old arrived at a local hospital after being shot near 16th and Clarke. At about 10:40 p.m., a 22-year-old was shot near 40th and Ruby and went to a hospital, and just before 2 a.m. Sunday a 36-year-old was shot near 16th and Cleveland and was transported to a hospital.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Milwaukee Police at 414-935-7360 or, to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 414-224-TIPS.
How to Help Investigators
Investigators say they are working to identify suspects in each incident and are urging anyone with video, witness accounts or other information to come forward. The Milwaukee Police Office of Public Relations lays out reporting options, including the department's non emergency line and an online reporting portal, on its website (Milwaukee Police Office of Public Relations).
Context
Milwaukee Police Department data through March showed non fatal shootings were down year over year, with 80 in the first quarter of 2026 versus 110 in the same period last year. The department's quarter one review provides those figures and other crime trends (Milwaukee Police Department Quarter 1 Review).
Police say the investigations are ongoing and again urged anyone with relevant footage or information to contact investigators, and to call 911 in an emergency.
