Milwaukee Police Investigate First Homicide of 2016

Milwaukee detectives are investigating their first homicide of the year.

It happened on the 24-hundred block of North 6th street.

Detectives are working to solve Milwaukee's first homicide.

Neighbors tell us it happened near the intersection of North 6th and West Wright.

Residents say they heard the gunfire around 11:00 PM last night and were then told to get back in the house.

Police say an adult male was killed but they are still trying to identify who he is, find a suspect, and a notice.

He never made it to the hospital and died at the scene.

 Residents say this neighborhood is a hot bed of drug dealing.

This same street had a homicide earlier this year just a few houses down.
