A Milwaukee man who was out walking his dog shot and killed one teen and wounded another during a robbery, officials said. The man, who was not publicly named, was walking in the area of South 65th Street and West Euclid Avenue when he was approached by four teens, Alderman Mark Borkowski said. The teens were shot when they tried to rob the man, and he fought back, police said. Deonte Thomas, 17, died at the scene. Officers said he had multiple gunshot wounds. The 18-year-old got away and was able to cross the city before being found near 24th Street and Ruby Avenue. Borkowski said the man who shot the teens had a concealed carry permit. "This unfortunate incident is a reminder that normally quiet, secluded areas in the city can suddenly turn into targeted crime locations at any time," he said. "The block where this occurred is very quiet and residential, and within shouting distance of St. Gregory the Great Parish."
