Milwaukee shooting: Man charged, wanted for reckless homicide
A Milwaukee man is charged and wanted for a fatal shooting that happened near Darien and Green Tree on the city's north side on May 9.
FOX6 News met the victim’s five children and family – they say that can’t be true.
What they're saying:
"She’s trying to insinuate my son, saying he told her to do it. How can he tell you do to something, if he don’t know these people, he’s never been in their house, he don’t know what they have in his house?" asked Ragland’s mother, Shemeeka Pirtle.
"I wouldn’t wish this on nobody. I don’t wish death on people," Pirtle added. "I pray for people’s families every day when I see killings. When kids are being taken. My son didn’t deserve that. And he’s not here to speak, but I am, and I know my son, just like a lot of people know him. That’s not in his character."
