'It's tragic:' YBN Kenny connects with Miramar shooting victim hurt during 'Summer Jam' concert

MILWAUKEE -- Milwaukee police on Monday, June 3 asked for help identifying the shooter(s) involved in the triple shooting that occurred outside Miramar Theatre on the city's east side on Saturday, June 1.

Around 8:10 p.m. on Saturday, police said a fight broke out among concertgoers inside the theater. As people began to exit the theater, multiple shots were fired into the crowd of people leaving. A 25-year-old man and two 20-year-old women were struck by gunfire. All three suffered injuries not believed to be life-threatening.

When the shots rang out, everyone nearby scattered and took cover.

According to The Miramar Theatre's website, a $10 "Summer Jam" concert was happening at the venue Saturday evening. YBN Kenny said things went awry before he even got a chance to perform.

"I didn't expect for that to happen," said Kenny. "It's tragic. My condolences go to all three of those people."

Kenny said one of the victims reached out to him from her hospital bed via social media. A photo showed she was shot in both feet.

"She was big fan. I reached back out to her, gave her my condolences and told her she is in my prayers. I told her next show I have, I'll make sure she is backstage and gets in for free," said Kenny.

His response allowed her to smile as she continued to recover.

"I think she was excited though. I'm glad I can bring that impact on somebody and make their day better. I hope I made her day with that," said Kenny.

Kenny said he was bothered by the violence Saturday night.

"It's sad for that to happen. When they come out to see local artists and support us and stuff like that happens, it's very disappointing," said Kenny.

Kenny said he was looking forward to his next performance at Summerfest, but said safety was top of mind.

"Everybody, when you come to an event, just come to have fun," said Kenny.

The owner of the Miramar Theatre issued this statement regarding the shooting:
