On Wednesday, 04/03/24, at 6:28 P.M., the Kenosha Police Department received a call from Mian’s Gas, located at 5006-60^th Street. A group of individuals were fighting in the store when a single gunshot was fired.  One person was treated by Kenosha Fire Department Rescue Personnel for a non-life-threatening injury.

Patrol Officers immediately responded and located the Jeep a few blocks away. The Jeep was occupied by four individuals ranging from 25 – 29 years old.  All were detained, and a loaded firearm was located in the Jeep. Further investigation led officers to a house in the 5800 block of 50^th Avenue, where two more individuals were located. A search warrant of that residence yielded the recovery of two more firearms. Our patrol officers, detectives, and the cooperation of the business led to the quick apprehension of those involved and three firearms being confiscated.
