According to police, Petersen was shot and killed while sitting on her grandfather's lap inside a home near 58th and Fairmount on Milwaukee's northwest side. The child was shot in the back of the head. Police say shooters used handguns, and fired 12 shots at the house.
In between tears, prayers and hugs, Laylah's aunt found the courage to deliver this message to the person sprayed this home with bullets. \"We will find you. We are making that our goal. You will suffer like we are suffering right now. We want you in jail.\"
Police Captain Aaron Rapp told reporters he is \"befuddled\" as to the motive of this shooting.\"In this case, at this point, we believe this bullet read to whom it may concern and that concerns us,\" said Rapp.
The A.T.F. has offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to a conviction. Anyone with information is urged to call 1-800-ATFGUNS, or 414-935-7360.
