A young boy found wandering alone in Milwaukee earlier this week is related to a woman found shot to death in an alley on the same day.
Anya Raymond, 31, was found dead at around 9 a.m. on November 5, about five hours after the boy was located some three miles away in north Milwaukee, WISN reported. He was not wearing shoes and socks.
Police described the child as 5 or 6 years old and said he was believed to be non-verbal. Police later said they’d located his family and he’d been reunited them just after 4 p.m.
Investigators did not say how the boy was related to the dead woman, although social media posts indicated he may have been her son.
Rosetta Lampkin-Johnson told WISN that she found the body in the alley and “took off running to call police.” She said she didn’t recognize the woman and had heard no gunshots in the hours leading up to discovering the body.
“She must have been killed somewhere else and brought here,” she said. “You don’t want to see that or see anything happen to someone like that, and my heart goes out to the family.”
Anyone with information about the shooting should contact police at 414-935-7360. To remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 414-224-TIPS.
