A 16-year-old Milwaukee boy was killed at the same intersection early Monday morning, according to a Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office report.
Hours later, family and friends of the boys decided to hold a vigil at the same spot. And MTO News learned that “Opps” of the deceased teenager returned to shoot up his family and friends.

All the victims suffered nonfatal injuries and were treated at local hospitals, police said in an overnight news release.
