When you walk into Johnny Hall’s home on Milwaukee’s north side, you’ll quickly notice a wall with about two dozen taped-up photographs of his loved ones.
He grabs at a couple in particular, showing his sister, Teresa Thomas, and her teenage children, Tiera Agee and Demetrius Thomas.
“On days like now, I’d be over there,” Hall said on a recent, sunny Friday evening. “My sister would be cooking.”
The five victims were shot and killed inside the home they shared with the suspect along the 2800 block of North 12th Street, in the North Division neighborhood, on the Milwaukee’s north side. It was the second mass shooting Milwaukee experienced during a historically violent 2020, just two months after five people were shot and killed at the Molson Coors complex.
An additional 17
deaths, including one in Douglas County, was reported statewide Tuesday, bringing the total to 6,773, DHS said. Overall, 1.1% of people who have contracted the virus have died.
The seven-day average of positive COVID-19 cases in Wisconsin remained steady. On Tuesday, the figure was 604. The seven-day average of positive cases measures the average number of new cases per day over the previous week. An overall decrease in the seven-day average of positive cases indicates the number of confirmed COVID-19 infections in the state is also going down, according to DHS.
The number of negative tests in the state was 2,833,669 Tuesday, an increase of 2,617.
