Milwaukee police say three people are dead in connection with an incident that began as a fatal accident and turned into a double shooting.

It happened in the 4600 block of N. 48th Street on Sunday, April 12th just after 5:00 p.m. Police had much of Wahl Park blocked off as they worked the scene.

Police say an initial investigation has revealed a two-year-old child ran into the street and was struck by a vehicle.

The 41-year-old man who was driving remained at the scene.

Police say the driver and a 15-year-old boy were then shot. The driver was pronounced dead at the scene. The 15-year-old boy was taken to the hospital for treatment of his injuries. Police say he died during surgery.

UPDATE I: Mayor Tom Barrett … Gunman, apparently enraged that a van had struck a 2-year-old boy Sunday on Milwaukee’s northwest side, not only “assassinated” the driver of the van, but cut down the toddler’s brother, who had rushed to the scene.

Archie Brown Jr., 40, was driving the van about 5:10 p.m. Sunday in the 4600 block of N. 48th St., near Wahl Park, when he hit 2-year-old Damani T. Terry, who had darted into the road, according to Milwaukee police.

Brown immediately jumped out and — by all accounts — was grieving and upset as he stood over the body. Rasheed T. Chiles, 15, who had been attending a party at a nearby house with his toddler brother, was at the scene as well.

A gunman shot and killed Brown, according to police.

“Someone got angry,” Barrett said. “Someone took a gun and basically assassinated this gentleman.”

Chiles also was hit, according to Barrett, and died during surgery Sunday night.

Milwaukee police continued on Monday to work on identifying the shooting suspect.

In the late afternoon, Attorney Michael Hupy offered a $25,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person who pulled the trigger. An upset Hupy said it was the fourth time he has offered a personal reward in a murder case.

   A driver’s worst nightmare is to have a child run in front of your vehicle and you hit them.

   Having a similar experience with my vehicle where I was barely able to miss hitting a child of similar age, I can say that you are sick to your stomach from the Adrenalin rush and fear for the childs condition.

   Then, to have some sick idiot pull a gun and start shooting while you are trying to asses the situation is even worse.

   The shooter could very possibly be a foreign national from a country that believes in revenge for an act that harms a family member.
