Another human body part was recovered in Milwaukee County on Friday just days after a severed leg was found in Cudahy on Tuesday.
According to the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office, the second body part was discovered near N 30th St. and W. Lisbon Avenue at about 10 p.m.
The Milwaukee Medical Examiner's office responded a few blocks away to the 3000 block of W. Galena St. for unidentified human remains found by the Milwaukee Police.
Neighbors in the area told TMJ4s Tahleel Mohieldin police then spent hours searching a nearby park, alleyways, and railroad tracks, maintaining a presence into Saturday morning.
“It sounds like it’s connected in a way to me,” Kamile Fulton said. “Cuz it’s just like, body just appearing all around the city.”
Fulton said he’s lived in the Walnut Hill neighborhood for about eight years, and when he saw yellow tape everywhere he assumed someone had been shot but couldn’t have imagined the reality.
“Stuff like that don’t happen around here at all,” he said. “I think it’s got to be somebody from somewhere else, because if it’s somebody from here that’s really surprising.”
Jaquay Springer has family in the area and on Saturday he was almost at a loss of words when he heard the news.
“I don’t even know. People not used to that,” Springer said. “People get shot. That’s what we’re used to. A body part? That’s serial killer-type stuff, like Jeffery Dahmer.”
Police have not said if they suspect the two recovered body parts are related, only that it’s an ongoing investigation.
A person of interest is in custody in connection to the homicide around the human leg found in Cudahy’s Warnimont Park.
Law enforcement reportedly raided that man’s home near 39th and Oklahoma Thursday afternoon.
TMJ4 is not naming the man at this time as he has not been criminally charged.
