At that time, the video showed a second subject in red with a firearm in his hand. His firearm was taken by one of the shooting victims, who attempted to fire the gun towards Mcgee, but the gun jammed. The shooting victim attempted to rack the firearm, but he then handed it back to the second subject in red. The subject in red fired rounds as he walked away from the crowd, according to the complaint.
Anthony Mcgee went to Milwaukee Police Department District 1 on Oct. 4 and turned himself in for the shooting that wounded two people. He turned over a black 9mm handgun with an extended magazine.
The firearm was later tested, and preliminary results matched the firearm to the recovered casing from the intersection of the scene.
