Milwaukee carjacking leads to standoff near home of victim's family

MILWAUKEE - A carjacking led to an hours-long standoff on Milwaukee's north side Thursday, July 6. 

As it turned out, the stolen SUV ended up back in the same neighborhood where the victim's family lives – miles away from where he was carjacked.

"They stole my car," the victim said. "It’s in the back of the house right now."

Newly filed court documents state, when an Uber driver picked up a fare near 41st and Florist, four people hopped in. The driver took them about five-and-a-half miles from there to the area of 7th and Reservoir.

Court documents state that's when one of the passengers pulled out a gun, pointed it and demanded the driver's keys, phone and wallet – as did a second person. They then drove off in the victim's 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

A few hours later, the Jeep was tracked down and parked in an alley behind 38th Street – not far from the victim's family home. When cops pulled up, police said three people got out of the Jeep and ran into a home.

That's when the hours-long standoff ensued. As police tried to get the people out of the home, people outside traded insults with each other. 

Ultimately, four people were arrested – a 23-year-old man, 20-year-old woman, 18-year-old man and 14-year-old boy. One of those people, police said, matched the description of the armed robbery suspects.
