An 18-year-old was shot and hospitalized Wednesday morning near South 24th Street and West Greenfield Avenue on Milwaukee's south side, though police say the victim was not seriously hurt. No arrests have been made, and investigators are still trying to figure out exactly what led to the gunfire.
The shooting happened in the morning hours, though accounts differ slightly on the exact minute: FOX6 News Milwaukee reported it occurred at 9:38 a.m., while TMJ4 put the time at around 9:39 a.m. Both outlets agree the teenage victim was taken to a hospital, and per TMJ4's report, the injuries were not considered serious.
Milwaukee police confirmed they are looking for unknown suspects. The station's report notes that an investigation into what led up to the shooting, along with the search for whoever was responsible, remains ongoing.
Police Still Searching For Answers
As of Wednesday, no arrests had been made in connection with the shooting, according to the FOX6 report. That leaves the case open, with investigators relying on the public for tips about what happened near 24th and Greenfield before the gunfire erupted.

Part of a Rough Stretch Near Greenfield Avenue
Wednesday's shooting adds to a string of violent incidents in Milwaukee in recent months. A double shooting on the 1400 block of West Greenfield Avenue left two people with non-fatal gunshot wounds in the early morning hours of August 2, 2026, according to a release from Urban Milwaukee, which identified one victim as 39 years old. In that case, too, police said they were seeking an unknown suspect.
Separately, TMJ4 has reported on a deadly shooting near 23rd and Greenfield that happened around 10 a.m. on a Friday morning, in which a man who appeared to be in his 30s died from his gunshot injuries. Police said at the time that they were investigating and seeking unknown suspects in that case as well.
Another fatal shooting struck nearby, though at a different intersection: a 36-year-old man was shot and killed Monday morning near 24th Place and Capitol Drive, according to WISN. He was pronounced dead at the scene and later identified as Jaime W. Royster. WISN reported that Milwaukee police had not made any arrests in that investigation either.
Wednesday's shooting near 24th and Greenfield remains under investigation, with no suspects named and no arrests announced. Police are continuing to ask anyone with information to come forward as they work to determine what led to the gunfire that sent an 18-year-old to the hospital.
