Police Are Investigating a Deadly Double Shooting From Overnight in Milwaukee.
Police are seeking surveillance video and tips as investigators say the shooting appears isolated and the victim died from a head wound.
Early Saturday, separate shootings in Racine and Milwaukee left two people dead and another injured. A 39-year-old man was killed in Racine, while a 53-year-old died and a 38-year-old was hospitalized in Milwaukee.
Racine Police Department officers responded to the 2700 block of Wright Avenue around 12:15 a.m. Saturday after reports of gunfire, locating the 39-year-old victim with a fatal head wound.
Milwaukee Police officers responded near 91st Street and West Appleton Avenue at about 3 a.m. Saturday, where investigators believe the shooting may be robbery-related based on preliminary findings.
Racine District 13 Alder Renee Kelly, living near the Wright Avenue scene, plans to organize community meetings to "heal those wounds," while police in both cities continue searching for suspects with no arrests reported.
Authorities are urging the public to provide information; anyone with details regarding the Racine incident can contact the Racine Police Department Investigations Unit at 262-635-7756, while those with Milwaukee information should call 414-935-7360.
