Milwaukee’s second double shooting in under a week left two adults dead in the Old North Milwaukee Neighborhood.
According to Milwaukee police, the incident took place July 22 near North 41st Street and West Glendale Avenue at approximately 2:31 a.m. The victims are a 50-year-old and an approximate 40-year-old.
Police are investigating the shooting and seeking unknown suspects.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Milwaukee police at 414-935-7360. To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 414-224-Tips or P3 Tips.
The shooting comes only three days after a double shooting near the intersection of East Juneau Avenue and North Broadway on July 19 killed a 21-year-old and sent a 15-year-old to the hospital.
This most recent shooting is a continuation of what has been a steady rise in fatal gun violence in Milwaukee this year, with homicides in mid-July outpacing 2024 figures.
In light of the increased shootings, city officials and anti-gun violence activists on July 17 announced plans to host a convention on gun violence prevention Oct. 15.
