A suspected shooter is at large after killing a 16-year-old girl and wounding her mother Thursday in southern Wisconsin.
They were both shot by someone inside a home in the 10900 block of 66th Street in Kenosha, according to Kenosha Police Sergeant Matt Strelow. Officers showed up about 3 p.m. and held a perimeter until a SWAT team entered the house, Strelow said.
The teenager was given life-saving measures but died at the scene, Strelow said. She was identified as Kaylie Juga by the Kenosha County medical examiner’s office, police said.
Her 39-year-old mother was taken to a hospital in serious but stable condition, Strelow said.
Detectives think the shooter fled the area, Strelow said. Police believe that Juga’s boyfriend is a person of interest in the shooting death.
The Sun-Times is not naming the suspected shooter because they have not been charged with the crime.
