A witness told police that Turner and the victim were arguing before the shooting, per the complaint. The arguing had stopped for about five minutes when she heard two gunshots "right outside her house." The witness said she then went outside and saw Turner holding a gun, a child asking her not to shoot. She then saw Turner shoot at the victim.
A forensic interviewer with the Milwaukee Child Advocacy Center interviewed the 7-year-old child. The complaint states the child said Turner and the man were arguing, and had hit each other, when she pulled out a gun and started shooting – appearing to miss the victim. The child said the victim was running away when he was ultimatley shot.
Court records show Turner made her initial court appearance on April 17. Her cash bond was set at $750,000.
