MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee police said Thursday they have arrested "persons of interest" in connection to the homicide of 12-year-old Olivia Schultz.

Police say no one has been charged.

Schultz was shot and killed while helping her mom unload groceries near 38th and Rohr earlier this month. The girl's mother, 46-year-old Celeste Wilson, was also shot but survived.

Wilson previously told TMJ4 News she saw a couple of young men wearing masks as she and her daughter were unloading groceries near their garage in an alley. She says she doesn't know who they were.
