Upon arrival, officers located two victims. A 24-year-old Kenosha man died on the scene, despite life-saving efforts. The second victim, a 13-year-old boy, also a Kenosha resident, sustained a gunshot wound that was not life-threatening.
"I'm changing the tire out. The bullet went through the bumper of the car -- the front," said Delvon Doles.
Hours later, Doles said he's relieved his family is safe as he replaced the tire struck by a bullet.
"It's traumatizing to see a person lying there just lifeless," said a witness who didn't want to be identified.
She said her cousin barely escaped the gunfire.
"That one bullet could've hit my cousin, so I'm grateful my cousin is OK," she said.
She said the scene became tense. Video shows a large crowd surrounding investigators.
"There's no reason why they should be blaming the system and the police for what they are doing," the witness said. "They're just out here doing their job. They didn't expect for this to happen."
Kenosha police are treating these shootings as two separate investigations and do not believe they are related.
