So my girlfriend's sisters boyfriend got shot and killed yesterday. I've known(just acquainted really) him since he was a teen and while always cool to me, has put his gf and her fam through the ringer. He pulled some wild %!*! over the years.
Besides the gf nobody in her fam seems that upset.
Not happy, not sad...just indifferent on a karma tip

MILWAUKEE -
Milwaukee police continue to search for an assailant in a deadly West Side shooting.
Police said a 22-year-old man was shot and killed in front of his girlfriend and his baby Saturday evening.
Milwaukee police said the baby was being put in the back of the car and the man was standing by the vehicle when he was hit by gunfire at 39th Street and Garfield Avenue, a neighborhood police have responded to for three major incidents in the past three weeks.
"There was an infant being secured in the back of the girlfriend's vehicle," said Lt. Kenneth Grams, of the Milwaukee Police Department. "The victim fled from the scene to an adjacent alleyway where he died."
The girlfriend was also shot in the leg and taken to the hospital, police said.
"Two residences and a church at this location sustained bullet evidence," said Grams.
Three weeks ago, a body was discovered in a sewer, and just a week ago, police said three teens were sprayed by gunfire. Investigators said they don’t know if any of the crimes are connected.
The baby was not hurt in the shooting, officers said.
Neighborhood leaders said they are not giving up on the area, which has been recently riddled with violence.
The fatal shooting left a bullet hole in the Christian Fellowship Community Church, where the Rev. Mary Jiles has been in attendance since 1971.
"It was the place to be. Beautiful homes, nice grass, beautiful trees," Jiles said.

Since then, Jiles said an influx of young people from out of town have brought drugs and violence to the community, and she is working to help bring the neighborhood back.
"We're going to fight for what we believe in. We're going to try to change our neighborhood as much as possible through the will of God, and then we're just going to stay here. We're not going anyplace that's for sure. Definitely, I will be here," Jiles said.
Jiles said there are signs of progress. She pointed out some local habitat for humanity homes as a step in the right direction.
"It's an uphill battle, but the battle is not over," said Dexter Smith, an associate minister and longtime church member.
Smith said Saturday's shooting underscores the need for the church to reach more community members.
"We are not going anywhere. We're going to stand here, and we're going to keep seeking the salvation for the people in our neighborhood. We're going to keep seeking salvation for the people all around us because God is able, and we cannot give up," Smith said.
