A 24-year-old male suspect has been arrested in connection to the quintuple shooting that took place near North Water and East Michigan streets shortly after midnight on July 12, and the search continues for unknown suspects, according to the Milwaukee Police Department.
Antwan “Tweezy” Hogans, 52, a rapper, popular local club promoter and owner of a hookah lounge was shot and killed in the incident. Police also confirmed the second victim who died due to his injuries was 39 years old.
“No one loved Milwaukee more than Tweezy,” Alderman Russell Stamper II said in a July 14 statement. “He was the bridge between boardrooms and street corners — the rare soul who could speak to anyone and bring light anywhere. He was the spirit of Milwaukee. He was our unofficial mayor. And now, he’s gone.”
Three others at the shooting sustained gunshot wounds: a person about 30 years of age, a 34-year-old and a 32-year-old, according to police. They were transported to a hospital for treatment.
