MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office reports that the 1-year-old girl's name is Zy-Aire Danielle Nevels.
"I've been just incredulous that a one-year-old was shot and killed because of some idiot out there with a gun firing into a vehicle. Unacceptable," said Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson on the shooting that happened during Gun Violence Awareness Month. "[This] brings to the forefront that we need to focus in on these efforts of anti-violence and encourage people to put guns down. It's a simple premise, put guns down, nothing good comes when you fire off a gun."
