MILWAUKEE — One person is dead, and two others are injured after a triple shooting on Friday, August 23.
The shooting happened near Teutonia and Florist around 5:10 p.m. in a shopping center parking lot.
A 30-year-old was shot and pronounced dead at the scene, according to Milwaukee Police. On Monday, the Milwaukee County Examiner's Office identified the 30-year-old as Saxon D. Perry.
TMJ4 crews counted nearly 50 yellow evidence markers in the parking lot.
"There was a lot of screaming and crying. Our main focus was shelter," Kelly B. recalled.
Kelly is the owner of KB Vision Beauty Bar, a business in the shopping center. She said the shooting happened outside in the parking lot after a funeral repast.
"There were a lot of people out here. It was really crazy for us. We ended up locking the door and running to the back," Kelly said.
The two others injured in the shooting are a 25-year-old and a 34-year-old. The 25-year-old is in serious condition, while the 34-year-old is in critical condition.
"As a business owner, as a client, and as a mother, it’s not okay. It’s scary," Kelly explained.
A car sped away from the scene, and police pursued. The car ran a red light on Sherman Blvd. and Villard Ave., crashing into another vehicle, according to Milwaukee Police.
The 32-year-old driver of the pursued car ran from the car, was taken into custody, and brought to a hospital.
A gun and suspected narcotics were found in the driver's car.
The investigation is ongoing. Milwaukee police continue to search for unknown suspects.
