Statement on the death of Prince McCree

I am shocked and incredibly saddened to learn of the discovery in the 10th District earlier today of the body of a little 5-year-old boy, Prince McCree. My prayers go out to the boy’s loved ones, who are suffering extreme sadness and loss. It is inconceivable to me that anyone could neglect or cause harm and fatal injuries to a child, or anyone.

Prince’s body was found in a dumpster, and Milwaukee Police have arrested two individuals in connection with the case. I will be joining the community in looking for justice for this innocent child, who should be having fun with playmates and looking forward to Halloween trick-or-treat.

Anyone who is directly affected by this case can receive help by the calling the city’s Mobile Trauma Response Team (MPD), at 414-257-7621.

Milwaukee County’s 24-hour Mental Health Crisis Line can be reached at 414-257-7222.
