Milwaukee mother found dead in alley; young son found hours before, roaming streets
MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A grandmother is heartbroken after she says her grandson was found by Milwaukee police roaming the streets with no shoes, and blood on him, the same day her daughter, A'nya Raymond- the boy's mother- was shot and killed.
"I want to see justice for my daughter; I want to know who did this," said Misty Raymond, A'nya Raymond's mother.
Wednesday, Nov. 5, Misty Raymond says her heart stopped when she saw a picture of her 7-year-old grandson circulating online, saying he was found by Milwaukee police.
"Everybody kept saying, 'Misty, isn’t this A'nya's son?'" said Raymond. "'Isn’t this your grandson?' When I took a look at that, that morning, right away I got ahold of the 5th District, because that’s where they took him."
Milwaukee police say the boy was found at 4 a.m. near 9th and Keefe. The family has asked us not to share his picture for his safety.
"They said they found him wandering the streets with blood on his clothes and no shoes on," said Raymond.
Five hours later, Milwaukee police found Raymond's daughter and the boy's mother, A'nya Raymond, shot and killed in an alley near 41st Street and Hampton.
"They say she was shot multiple times and just discarded like trash," said Raymond.
As the Milwaukee Police Department continues to investigate, Raymond is demanding answers for what happened to her daughter and her grandson.
"Scary because he was always with his mom," said Raymond. "He was always with her because he's autistic. He was never not with her."
Uneasy, as she's left with endless questions and grief for her daughter, who she says was a mother of three and loved her kids.
"Just knowing she's not here anymore, that hurts," said Raymond. "My daughter was a beautiful girl. She lived for her kids. That’s my best friend, that was my best friend."
MPD says they are still looking for suspects in this case.
