It’s been three-and-a-half weeks since a man was shot to death outside a Milwaukee Jesuit church, and authorities still don’t know who he is.
Two prayer groups were meeting at Saint Hyacinth Church when they heard the gunfire outside on October 2. The victim’s body was found on an edge of the church parking lot.
Associate church pastor John Montag says it’s scary that nobody seems to know who the victim is or why the shooting occurred. The body remains unclaimed at the Milwaukee County medical examiner’s office, and yesterday police asked for the public’s help in determining his identity.
He’s a Hispanic man thought to be in his early 40s, around 5 feet, 5 inches tall and weighing about 175 pounds. Montag says the victim must mean something to somebody, and the fact that he remains unidentified makes it that much more tragic.
