Racine has another homicide, the result of yet another bar shooting.
At 1:15 a.m. this morning, Racine Police responded to a report of a fight and shots fired at Cera's Tequila Bar, 607 Sixth Street, and found a 16-year-old girl suffering from a single gunshot wound to the back.
She was taken to the Wheaton Franciscan emergency room where she died. The victim’s identity is being withheld pending notification of next of kin.
Racine Police do not have anyone in custody or a suspect description. Investigators would like to speak to anyone who was at the bar Friday night or early Saturday morning prior to the incident. Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Racine Police Department at 635-7700, or Crimestoppers at 636-9330.
UPDATE, 12/10: The victim has been identified as Autumn A. Ford. Racine Police have not identified a suspect. Autumn was a student in the Racine Unified School District.
We heard the firefighters/paramedics working on the young girl while rushing her to the hospital. These heros are so forgotten while we were up and the scanner was on. What a heroic effort.
ReplyDeleteAnd the cops are not heroic???
ReplyDeleteOFcourse cops are heroic, no one said they weren't. I was simply commenting on the enourmous effort to save a young girl's life.
