An evening picnic party May 30 at Center Street Park turned into a violent and volatile crime scene when someone opened fire in what reportedly is being investigated as a fatal shooting.
Neighbors said they heard at least two gunshots in the 6 p.m. hour and soon saw officers from the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office and Milwaukee Police Department converge on the park in more than a dozen squad cars. Police could be seen giving CPR to a shooting victim near the Center Street Park pavilion as members of the crowd screamed.
The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office later confirmed to Tosa Forward News that it had been notified, typically indicating there were fatalities. Local TV reports, citing sheriff's office sources, reported that the fatal victim was a 23-year-old Milwaukee man and that a 25-year-old woman was arrested.
