10-year-old girl loses her life unnecessarily to gun violence
Statement of Alderwoman JoCasta Zamarripa May 31, 2024
I was shocked and horrified to learn that overnight a 10-year-old girl lost her life due to gun violence. There is no other way to describe this horrific incident other than to say it is utterly unacceptable. I am devastated for the family who suffered this loss, and my heart is with them at this time.
Far too many young people continue to be impacted by gun violence across our city. As a community, we should be working to foster an environment that uplifts our youth as opposed to placing them in harm’s way. These gun related incidents are wholly preventable, and we must to better to stop them.
Anyone with any information about this incident is asked to contact Milwaukee Police at (414) 935-7360, or to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at (414)224-Tips or P3 Tips.
