BURLINGTON, Wis. (CBS 58) The man killed in a house fire on Spring Drive Wednesday, May 12, has been identified as 29-year-old Tyler Werlein.
The Racine County Sheriff s Office says at this point in the investigation, foul play is not suspected.
Sheriff s deputies were dispatched to the home on Spring Drive around 1:16 p.m. Wednesday.
Upon arrival, deputies observed heavy smoke coming out of the front of the residence and visible flames on the north-west corner of the home.
The Sheriff s Office says deputies attempted to enter the back door, but it was hot to the touch. Officials evacuated the neighbors and maintained a perimeter.
Neighbors said the child’s mother was so distraught, WISN-TV reported.
“The heartbreak in her scream, that was scary in itself,” Santana Medina said. “For her to wake up today and know that she’s one child less is heartbreaking. I just pray that God covers them and keeps them because today isn’t going to be a good day for them.”
At least eight other children have been killed in Milwaukee shootings so far this year.
