MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Police Department is investigating two separate fatal shootings that occurred late Saturday night and one non-fatal shooting that occurred early Sunday morning.
At around 9:40 p.m. in the area of the 2100 block of W. Pierce Street, two victims sustained fatal gunshot wounds.
Family members have identified the two victims as 29-year-old Scott Bucholz and 26-year-old Vanessa Rheanne DeHerrera.
Vanessa was a mother of two and family members told TMJ4 she was a beloved niece, granddaughter, sister, and cousin.
"[Scott] always stood out in the crowd for how genuine, loyal, and caring he was," his sister wrote in a note. "He truly was someone everyone wanted to be around. May we all remember him as the light in our lives forever."
Separate second shooting
The second shooting occurred at around 10:05 p.m. on the 3400 block of N. 39th Street.
One victim, a 38-year-old, sustained fatal gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the hospital.
The uncle of the victim identified her as Shamarla Asir Hare and clarified that she was 38, not 39, as originally stated in a police release.
He also told TMJ4 that she leaves behind two children and was a Navy veteran who joined right out of high school.
The third shooting occurred at around 1 a.m., Sunday morning, on the 2300 block of W. Fond du Lac Avenue.
Two victims, a 34-year-old and a 15-year-old, sustained non-life-threatening injuries and were taken to a local hospital for treatment. The circumstances leading up to the shooting are under investigation.
