Man fatally shot near 47th and Center in Milwaukee



MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- Milwaukee police dealt with a cluster of violence on the city's north side on Monday afternoon, August 18th -- three different incidents, one right after another. The most serious crime involves a young man who was fatally shot and crashed his car near a building.

It's something those who live near 47th and Center say they are seeing way too often. Shots were fired. In Monday's case, witnesses say ten to 11 shots were fired as a car was parked in front of a house.

Dominic Hill



Friends and relatives say 20-year-old Dominic Hill was killed. He made it less than a block driving with several bullet wounds before he died in the car as it stopped near a building on Center St.

"An individual going into the neighborhood , a known drug dealer, shot several times by an unknown assailant," said Milwaukee Police Chief Ed Flynn.

Family and friends identify the 20-year-old as Hill, known as Domo. Hill has a daughter turning two on Tuesday. It is Alexis Hill's second brother killed by violence.

"I would like everyone to know how hurt I am about the situation," said Hill.

At the same time Hill was shot, police say another man was shot, but survived at 44th and Center. Police made an arrest in a house farther down on 47th St. They also recovered several guns.

Police Chief Flynn says his officers have good leads on who to arrest in the Hill shooting.
