Each scene leaves behind an immeasurable impact as family, friends and neighbors wonder why someone turned to violence.

"It’s crazy. I don’t get why they’re doing this to each other. For what?" Bennett said. "My prayers are to y’all, and I just hope it stops. I hope it stops. It’s a shame."

Anyone with information about the shootings is asked to contact the Milwaukee Police Department at 414-935-7360 or Crime Stoppers at 414-224-TIPS or the P3 Tips app for a cash reward.
