"No compassion:" Two men shot & killed after altercation at the door of a bar on city`s north side

MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- Milwaukee police say two people are dead after a shooting that occurred following an altercation at a bar near 53rd and Green Tree Road early Sunday, February 8th. Witnesses say one of the victims died trying to protect someone.

Shots rang out around 1:30 a.m. Sunday. This, after police say an altercation involving up to four people occurred inside a bar. The shots were fired as the group moved towards the door.

Two people were killed -- two men, ages 22 and 38. Both are from Milwaukee.

"I know it ain`t right when a man comes to work in a ski jacket and leaves in a body bag. He was just coming to make a living for his family," Derrell Anderson said.

Derrell Anderson owns New Entertainer's bar where the shooting occurred. His older brother is Terance Anderson -- one of two killed early Sunday.

"He was a good man. He didn`t deserve this. He had a family, worked hard, came out here to help me out when he could. Terance was inside. Everybody was having a good time. Some gentlemen on their way out the door -- from what I understand, Terance was at the front door -- accosted a young lady. (Terance) intervened. One of the gentlemen shot him. Then on the way out the door, they bumped into another man and he said they -- and they shot him too. No compassion," Derrell Anderson said.

This senseless crime has rocked two families.

"I'm hurt because he was a father. He had a mother. He had a brother. He had kids he left behind," Terance Anderson's cousin, Damon Richmond said.

"I'm different. Never be the same. I had to tell my mother she had a son shot for absolutely no reason. They had no reason to be mad at him," Derrell Anderson said.

The good news for family members: They feel there is some hope those responsible for this incident will be apprehended. Surveillance cameras both inside and outside the bar were able to capture some footage of the incident.

"I'm trying to feel confident. Police are going to do everything they're supposed to do in order to bring these people to justice," Derrell Anderson said.

This, as two families try to come to terms with an unimaginable loss.

"He was the most honest and caring person you would ever want to meet," Damon Richmond said.

Family members say Terance Anderson was 38 years old. Police haven't released the name of the second victim in this case.

There is no word at this time as to whether there are any suspects in custody.
