MILWAUKEE, WI — A heartbreaking night of violence has left the Milwaukee community mourning the loss of Jarvis, who tragically passed away after a triple shooting near Hoyt Place and Fond du Lac Avenue late Saturday night.
According to the Milwaukee Police Department, officers responded to the scene around 11:22 p.m., where they discovered three people suffering from gunshot wounds. Jarvis was transported to a local hospital but sadly succumbed to his injuries shortly after arrival. Two 17-year-olds were also shot but are expected to recover from non-life-threatening injuries.
