Milwaukee shooting, 62nd and Bobolink, suspect out on bail
Antwuan Scott
MILWAUKEE - Antwuan Scott, 27, of Milwaukee, is charged in connection with a shooting that happened June 27 near 62nd and Bobolink. Prosecutors say he shot the brother of the mother of his child.
Police responded around 7 p.m. on June 27 and found that the victim, 21, had been shot in the leg.
Prosecutors say Scott showed up at the home of the mother of his child, and there was an argument between the two. At one point, a criminal complaint says Scott got out of a Jeep and started shooting. The woman's brother was hit in the leg, and his girlfriend drove him to the hospital. She said he told her "Antwuan" had just shot him, according to the complaint.
Investigators found 26 spent 9mm casings on the ground at the scene, along with three .380 "Speer" spent casings.
The complaint says the victim's girlfriend said the victim had a .380 pistol that was in her purse. Prosecutors say the location of the 9mm casings was consistent with where witnesses said Scott was shooting from, while the location of the .380 casings was consistent with a round found in the gun located in the victim's girlfriend's purse.
The complaint says a home in the area was hit by gunfire twice.
