MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- The family of a Milwaukee man shot over the holiday weekend says he has passed away.

Police say no arrests have been made in connection with this shooting.

Conn's family is now asking for anyone with a potential lead to come forward.

"I just want anybody with any type of answers or information on who could`ve did it, what they say, what kind of car it may have been - something to help us get closure to our brother`s death," Conn's sister, Lisa Conn said.

Relatives say Conn is survived by his four children -- ranging in age from one to eight years old.

His family says they are planning to hold a vigil in Conn's honor on Friday night, July 11th near 11th and Atkinson.
