An active manhunt is under way with police asking the public to submit tips through hotlines or the P3 Tips app.
Overview

- Investigators say the gunman fired from a vehicle, striking the 16-year-old, and the victim’s identity has not been released.
- No arrests have been made and Milwaukee police describe the case as an open and active homicide investigation.
- Authorities asked anyone with information to call Milwaukee Police at 414-935-7360, contact Crime Stoppers at 414-224-TIPS, or send tips through the P3 Tips app.
- Drive-by shootings can be hard to solve because vehicles allow suspects to leave quickly and limit on-scene evidence, so police warn more details may emerge as investigators review video and witness tips.
