Man Slain in Brady Street Neighborhood Was Pfister Hotel Chef

MILWAUKEE, WI — Yesterday, Patch reported that a 32-year-old Milwaukee man has died after he was fatally stabbed during an argument on Milwaukee's lower east side.

Today, we have learned that the victim in the Aug. 29 homicide in the 1700 block of North Pulaski Street is Shawn W. Ostrom, a chef at the Pfister Hotel.

Police have arrested two suspects, a 45-year-old Oak Creek man and a 20-year-old Greenfield man, in connection with the crime.

Milwaukee Police are continuing their investigation.

According to a report from FOX 6, witnesses said a couple was fighting early Monday morning outside of Thurman's 15. A regular at the bar intervened, and that's when the man was stabbed.

A troubling trend

Earlier, Patch reported that seven armed robberies took place in just three hours in the near north side of Milwaukee recently, but in fact, it's part of a much larger trend that police are investigating.

In reality, 20 armed robberies in almost the same area of Milwaukee have happened in just two months. The latest few happened just Saturday morning on the east side. An armed robber has been targeting unsuspecting people in the Brady Street and North Side areas.
