A business owner along S. Chávez Drive after hearing about the recent shooting, claimed that Milwaukee police only succeeded in criminalizing the S. Chávez Drive Bid 38 corridor and kept customers from shopping and patronizing the area.
Last year, several shootings were reported at a impromptu chaotic flag waving parading and cruising gathering at S. Chávez Drive and W. Scott Street, which a 17-year-old male was shot by police, arrested, charged with a felony and convicted.
