On Saturday afternoon, May 7, 2022, 15-year-old William Harrison Jr was shot inside a McDonald’s at 49th and Hampton Avenue in Milwaukee after an argument between two groups of teenagers escalated. Surveillance footage shows the sequence: a 16-year-old, Javarius D. Fowler, was seated with three others when a separate group of three entered. A 14-year-old, Robert D. Johnson, approached Fowler, a firearm was produced, Fowler pushed it away and then drew his own weapon. An exchange of gunfire followed; Johnson was wounded, a 14-year-old boy was injured, and Harrison was struck in the head.

Harrison died at a hospital two days after the shooting. Johnson was taken into custody and charged as an adult with first-degree reckless homicide; court filings state all three teenagers involved were armed and that the shooting began after an argument, though the dispute’s specifics aren’t detailed.

Did anyone in the area witness the incident or know these teenagers and what started the argument?
