MILWAUKEE, WI — Quadruple Shooting Sends Four to Hospital in Related Crime Scenes; Police Seek Public’s Help
MILWAUKEE, WI — The city of Milwaukee is grappling with yet another wave of gun violence after a quadruple shooting Tuesday night, June 17, 2025, left four adults injured and multiple neighborhoods on edge. The Milwaukee Police Department is actively investigating the incident, which is linked to two separate but connected crime scenes just blocks apart.
Two Crime Scenes, One Disturbing Incident
The first reports of gunfire came in around 8:45 p.m., prompting officers to respond to two nearby locations:
- The area of South 10th Street and West Mineral Street
- A gas station located at South 9th Street and West National Avenue
Both scenes are situated within Walker’s Point, a neighborhood just south of downtown Milwaukee. Authorities have confirmed that although the shootings occurred at two different locations, they are believed to be directly connected. Investigators are now working to determine how the events unfolded and what led up to the violence.
Victims and Condition
Police have confirmed that the four individuals injured in the shooting are all adult males, identified by age as:
- Two 26-year-old men
- One 27-year-old man
- One 34-year-old man
All four were transported to local hospitals for treatment and are expected to survive. Their names have not been released at this time, and the extent of their injuries has not been disclosed.
Family members and friends of the victims have begun gathering at hospitals and near the crime scenes, anxiously seeking answers and praying for recovery. The community response has been one of growing concern over the frequency and proximity of recent violent crimes in the area.
Police Investigation Underway
As of Wednesday morning, no arrests have been made, and no suspects have been publicly identified. Milwaukee police say they are actively pursuing leads and reviewing surveillance footage from nearby businesses and residences. Ballistics evidence is also being analyzed to determine whether a single firearm or multiple weapons were used.
Authorities have not yet provided information about the motive behind the shooting, but they have acknowledged the complexity of the case due to the dual crime scenes. The department is calling for community cooperation as investigators work to piece together the events that led to the gunfire.
Public Assistance Requested
In a statement released early Wednesday, the Milwaukee Police Department urged anyone with information — no matter how small — to come forward. Witnesses, community members, or anyone who may have video footage or relevant details are encouraged to contact police directly.
