Antwon Gibson
MILWAUKEE -- A 34-year-old man was shot and killed near Brady Street and Farwell Avenue Saturday night, Dec. 21 -- not far from the popular Pizza Shuttle restaurant.
Police were on scene around 10 p.m.
"This place is pretty fun, pretty live," said Johnny Saengphonphakdy, whose aunt works in the area. "It's pretty rare for it to happen. I'm pretty much over here a lot."
Family members identified the victim as Antwon Gibson. His cousins said he was a kind person and a loving father.
"You have a lot of high-end clientele living and staying in this area," said a Milwaukee man who was in the neighborhood on Saturday night, as police lights illuminated the block near Farwell and Kane. "Something like that. It was kind of surprising."
When the deadly gunfire erupted, people ran for cover.
