It is unclear what led up to the stabbing. A 54-year-old has been taken into custody.

Charges are pending review by the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office.

Neighbors tell TMJ4 that the neighborhood is pretty calm with little disturbance.

Nevaeh Kennedy works just down the block from where the stabbing happened.

She had just started her shift when police started to arrive.

"It’s really quiet around here so I’m shocked that it happened," said Kennedy.

As police try and figure out what led to the stabbing, Kennedy tells TMJ4 that she just wants to see the violence stop in the city.

"There’s something happening every day," said Kennedy. "It’s just getting ridiculous."
