The shooting preceded another shooting that police said occurred about a mile away at about 3 a.m. on Sunday. That nonfatal shooting was on the 1600 block of North Farwell Avenue and injured a 21-year-old person, police said.
They were taken to a hospital and are expected to survive. Milwaukee police did not connect the two shootings.
