Woman Fatally Shot in Saint Francis Parking Lot; Person of Interest in Custody

Police say there is no ongoing threat during an active homicide investigation.

Overview

  • Officers found a 32-year-old Cudahy woman with multiple gunshot wounds in a Saint Francis apartment parking lot on Thursday, July 16, and she later died at a hospital.
  • About two hours after the shooting police took a 33-year-old Milwaukee man into custody as a person of interest and closed 124th Street in Wauwatosa during the arrest.
  • Authorities have not released the victim’s name or announced any charges while detectives continue evidence collection and witness interviews.
  • Neighbors reported hearing several rounds of gunfire and first responders rendered aid at the scene before the St. Francis Fire Department transported the woman to the hospital.
  • Investigators will next focus on forensic work and witness statements to determine motive and whether prosecutors will file charges, a process that could delay public updates.
