"It's pretty surprising," said Nic Roberts, a former Wisconsin resident visiting from Alaska. "I know this street well enough, but never heard anything like that here."
For Rick Dwiontek, a resident of a nearby apartment complex, seeing the aftermath first-hand was a jarring experience.
"When I first came down the hallway, I saw the yellow tape cutting off the area [to the apartment entrance], Swiontek said. "There was five to seven poeple trying to revive the poor gentlemen that got shot."
The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner was called to the scene about 10:30 p.m. to assist with the investigation.
