Investigators from three agencies seek security video in a case with no suspects or clear motive.

Overview

  • At least five homes and one vehicle were struck this week across the City and Village of Waukesha and New Berlin, with no injuries reported.
  • The latest gunfire Thursday night hit an upstairs window near the Waukesha Public Library, with neighbors hearing two bursts about 20 minutes apart.
  • A New Berlin home on Greenfield Avenue was shot around 4 a.m. Sunday and again the next night, and residents say they do not know why it was targeted.
  • Police call the shootings reckless and warn it could be only a matter of time before someone is hurt if the incidents continue.
  • Waukesha Police, the Waukesha County Sheriff's Office, and New Berlin Police are canvassing for evidence, urging residents to check cameras and report suspicious vehicles, and CrimeStoppers is offering a $1,000 reward.
