17-Year-Old Shot and Killed by Milwaukee Man He Tried to Rob

MILWAUKEE -- A 17-year-old male was shot and killed late Tuesday night after he, and another 18-year-old man attempted to conduct a robbery on Milwaukee's south side.

Milwaukee Police responded to a fatal shooting around 10:00 p.m. on December 27 in the 6500 block of W. Euclid Avenue.

Officers arrived to find an adult male suffering from several gunshot wounds. Lifesaving efforts were administered by the Milwaukee Fire Department, but were unsuccessful.

The preliminary investigation reveals the 17-year-old who was fatally shot was committing a robbery at the time of the shooting and was shot by the 36-year-old Milwaukee man who was being robbed.

The apparent victim is being questioned by investigators Wednesday morning. The deceased’s co-actor, an 18-year-old Milwaukee man, was also shot during the altercation and has since been taken into custody.

MPD's investigation into the incident is ongoing.
