Mayor Tom Barrett released the following statement:
“When we lose any child in this city, it is a tragedy and it is especially tragic when the death is the result of gun violence. Those responsible must be held accountable. Gun violence particularly this year is hitting our families and our neighborhoods hard. I know Milwaukee residents share my outrage at this senseless violence. My heart goes out to the family and to the neighbors.
