By the time Milwaukee police officers finished processing the scene of a shooting where several homes and cars had been peppered with bullets, investigators had collected nearly 100 shell casings from a single street on Milwaukee’s south side.
In a search warrant affidavit detailing some of the evidence collected in the case, Det. Michael Slomczewski said investigators recovered 97 casings near 5th and Becher on March 29.
The detective said the casings came from at least three types of guns: .40 caliber , 9mm and a .223 rifle. The document did not specify how many guns or shooters may have been involved.
One witness, who asked not to be identified, said she saw at least two people shooting that day.
“They shot for about five minutes straight. Even a bullet hit that host as well. So I mean, it’s, you know, a lot of people could have got hurt, they were scared to come out,” the woman whose truck had been hit, said.
No one was injured, police said.
