MILWAUKEE — A 17-year-old teen died after being shot near 71st and Hampton Sunday morning, Milwaukee police say.
Police said the deadly shooting happened a few minutes after midnight. The male teen died at the scene of the shooting.
Police said they are trying to find unknown suspects.
Family has identified the teen as Prestin Gill-Pate. They say he was in his senior year of high school and looking forward to starting his first job at Footlocker.
"He’ll do anything for anyone, doesn’t make a difference what it is," said his aunt Priscilla Vickers. "He helped look after his brothers and sisters, he helped keep his mom on track, he became a baby man of our family at the end of the day."
A group of family and friends gathered at the scene Monday afternoon to hold a vigil and balloon release in his honor.
