MILWAUKEE — Surveillance video obtained by TMJ4 on Tuesday captures the gunshots in a triple shooting that left three teenagers injured Monday evening.
Watch the surveillance video here:
According to Milwaukee police, the shooting happened Monday around 6:05 p.m. near the intersection of North 87th Street and West Herbert Avenue. The victims, ages 13, 15 and 16, arrived at a hospital for treatment for their injuries.
No update on their conditions is currently available.
Neighbors say the alley is a spot where kids are often seen outside.
James Lovett, a neighbor who bikes through the area regularly, reacted after watching the video.
"That's crazy," Lovett said.
Lovett said he would like to see more of a police presence patrolling the neighborhood.
"Nobody really wins in those scenarios, you know, you're hurting your own people, you're hurting your family, you're hurting somebody else's family, um, and at the end of the day it's like nobody really wins. Who wins out of that?" Lovett said.
Watch: Neighbors want solutions after three teens shot in Milwaukee
Jennifer Navarro, an anti-gun violence advocate who lives on Herbert Avenue not far from where the shooting occurred, knows the impact of gun violence firsthand.
"We need this to stop. We need Milwaukee to come together; the gun violence has to stop. Too many people are being lost. Too many lives are being altered, and then we live in misery, missing our loved ones," Navarro said.
Navarro wants to see more programming for both kids and adults focused on the impact of gun violence.
She also wants parents and city leaders to take a more proactive approach to stopping the gun violence.
"The mayor needs to get out here in the community," said Navarro. "He needs to help. He needs to get a group of people together, and he needs to work on programs for taking these guns off of the streets, even if it's paying these children or these young people with these guns getting them off the streets."
As police continue to search for the person responsible, Navarro wants people to respect their neighbors and care about each other in the city.
"We have to care more about people. If you have a problem with someone, put your fist up, but stop shooting, and parents stay active in your child, in their head, in their heart. What they're doing in the streets. This has to stop. There's too many guns and too many reckless people."
An investigation into the shooting and the search for suspects is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to contact Milwaukee police at (414) 935-7360 or, to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at (414) 224-TIPS or P3 Tips.
