Kenosha shooting; 1 dead, 2 wounded, no arrests
KENOSHA, Wis. - Kenosha police are investigating the shooting death of a 19-year-old man and said the same shooting sent two others to the hospital Tuesday night, June 13.
Police said no one is in custody because no one is talking to them about what happened.
The shooting happened near Grace Lutheran Church near 21st Avenue and 60th Street.

"It was about 10, 11 o'clock at night," said Ronald Dooley. "I was walking to the gas station."
On Tuesday night, police were told of three gunshot victims in two different hospitals. They said one of the victims, a 19-year-old man, passed away before he could be flown to a Milwaukee area hospital. His death is believed to be a homicide.

Kenosha police said cooperation from those involved has been minimal.
It's the second time Kenosha police have had to deal with this kind of a roadblock.
On Sunday, officers responded to a shooting near 26th Avenue and 69th Street. They helped one shooting victim, but once again, they were met with little cooperation from those involved. They later learned two more people survived the shooting and were being treated at the hospital.

Those who heard Tuesday's gunfire said bullets flew too close for comfort.
In a public plea, police called on the community, saying, "Kenosha, we cannot accept that disputes will be solved by gunfire. We must hold those accountable who are responsible for the shootings. Police need your help. Call us."
Church officials said Wednesday they were in the process of planning a vigil for the man who lost his life.
