21-year-old dead, 15-year-old injured following overnight shooting next to Milwaukee School of Engineering

MILWAUKEE, (CBS 58) -- Milwaukee police say a 15-year-old is injured and a 21-year-old is dead after a double shooting near the Milwaukee School of Engineering campus during the early morning hours of Sat. July 19. 

Officials say the shooting happened at around 2:10 a.m., near Milwaukee St. and Juneau Ave. A CBS58 crew on the scene saw over a dozen evidence markers on the road.

The 15-year-old victim was taken to the hospital with a gunshot wound to the leg. 

The 21-year-old victim suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the chest. 

Those who live nearby, like Jacob Eckberg, voice their concern over safety, saying, "I moved out here 4 years ago and it seems year after year it gets worse. This time of year, you never know. You think it’s just fireworks, and more often than not, it’s not fireworks anymore. I try not to go out when it’s past midnight."

The crime scene was between MSOE student housing and their public safety building. In a statement, MSOE says, quote: "We are saddened to share that early this morning, a shooting occurred near campus on Juneau Avenue. No members of the MSOE community were involved in the incident."

MSOE Students like Benjamin Marfoe say they confide in their public safety officers, "it’s happened before, we’re standing right next to public safety right now, I'm really good friends with a lot of them, I trust them to keep us safe, they’re always there when you need them."

Milwaukee police have not made any arrests as they continue to search for a suspect.
