Milwaukee, WI - On Sunday, Diana Gonzalez of Milwaukee reported that her purse was snatched by an unknown female suspect during an altercation at the Miller Lite Oasis stage area just before 10:00p.m. at Mexican Fiesta 2021 in Milwaukee at the Summerfest grounds.

Los Tucanes de Tijuana were on stage when the purse snatching occurred. The purse had vehicle keys, credit cards, identification and $700 dollars in cash.

Gonzalez told Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) on Monday that all she wants back is her vehicle keys and driver's license. From all the years that Gonzalez has attended Mexican Fiesta, she never had experienced something like this incident.

Security and police were alerted, but the purse thief along with her son fled the scene before law enforcement arrived. There are multiple video surveillance cameras throughout the Summerfest grounds where the three-day Mexican music festival takes place.

No injuries were reported by police in the incident.

Also, a reward is being offered for the identity of the alleged female thief/purse snatcher and her son.
