Milwaukee man arrested in connection with fatal shooting near Bayshore

GLENDALE -- A 25-year-old Milwaukee man was arrested on Tuesday, Jan. 28 in connection with a fatal shooting that happened in the U.S. Bank parking lot near Bayshore Sunday, Jan. 26.

Family identified the man shot and killed as Daniel Colon Jr.

Glendale police responded to the parking lot where Colon, 30, was found dead around 8:30 a.m. Sunday -- while most businesses were still closed.

On Monday, Jan. 27, as loved ones worked to wrap their heads around why someone would kill Colon, they said the young man left behind a son and daughter. They tied balloons in his memory at the scene where they said he took his last breath.

"He was like my brother, and to lay like this, the guy who do this, he didn't have to do that," said Nathaniel Velazquez, friend of the victim.

"I hope they catch the guy, whoever did this because it's not right," said Nieves. "He was only 30 years old, and he ain't have to die like that."

Police said initially the shooter and victim knew each other, and there was no danger to the public.

Business resumed as usual at Bayshore and the surrounding area by Sunday afternoon.
