MILWAUKEE — A man is in custody after a 52-year-old was shot and killed near 38th and Good Hope on Thursday, Dec. 28.
Milwaukee police say it happened around 8:30 p.m. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene.
Neighbors told TMJ4 that they're scared to talk on camera after Thursday's incident, but said the neighborhood is typically very quiet.
Friday, we saw families with kids coming and going from the neighborhood.
One couple told TMJ4 they got home shortly after the shooting happened and said the entire corner of 38th and Juniper was blocked off. They also said it looked like police were inside an apartment unit on 38th.
Another neighbor told us they never heard any gunshots, but did see police swarming the area.
A 39-year-old man was taken into custody.
According to Brown Deer police, officers were dispatched to the area of 50th and Calumet for reports of gunshots. Upon arrival, officers found a vehicle driven off the roadway into the ditch.
Neighbors in that neighborhood told TMJ4 they called 911 just after 8:00 p.m. Thursday after hearing gunshots.
When officers arrived they found the lone occupant of the vehicle, the 39-year-old male suspect, armed with a firearm.
No one was struck by the shots fired by the suspect at the crash scene. After his arrest, he was transferred to the custody of the Milwaukee Police Department.
