But it's what one of those women did next that brought criminal charges.
"Brought a gun to a girl fight"
What they're saying:
Surveillance video near 25th and Garfield captured part of one fight.
Court filings show one of these women is 19-year-old Jermela Kittler. Prosecutors say Kittler called her ex-boyfriend, Jones, to the neighborhood on Thursday night.
"You not only, although you're not charged with it, were involved in the incident that occurred before," Milwaukee County Circuit Court Commissioner Barry Phillips said. "You were allegedly there, you knew what was going on, and you did numerous things to attempt to assist Mr. Jones in the aftermath of what he allegedly took part in."

FOX6 News got hold of video appearing to show Jones with a large firearm, yelling because another man with a gun was inside the apartment building.
Prosecutors say 22-year-old Bryshawn Tyler and Jones had a shootout, prompting calls to police.
"He, in this case, brought a gun to a girl fight," Milwaukee County Assistant District Attorney Grant Huebner said. "[It] escalated the situation."
McCray and Corder searched the neighborhood after the shootout.
Prosecutors say Jones was hiding in the bushes when he shot them. Police then flooded the neighborhood, looking for the shooter.
Jones was still there, hiding.
Milwaukee police officers shot, killed; new video of alleged shooter
22-year-old Tremaine Jones has been charged with first-degree intentional homicide and attempted homicide in the shooting of two Milwaukee cops last week.
But filings say Kittler left and later returned with a change of clothes for Jones. They tried to get the gun, but police had secured the scene.
Jones and Kittler took an Uber back to her home near 37th and Villard.
"There are not too many times where we have the charge of harboring or aiding a felon, and the facts support harboring and aiding a felon," Phillips said.
