Family mourns loss of 5-year-old, seeks public's help finding shooters
Nov. 8, 2014
Before the news conferences, before the prayer circles, Robert Petersen stood alone in the yard and stared at the bullet holes in the Milwaukee house where his 5-year-old daughter Laylah was killed.
He was silent.
Laylah Petersen was sitting on her grandfather's lap Thursday evening when two people approached the house and fired at it numerous times, with one bullet piercing a wall and striking the girl in the head, police said.
The window was scarred with five bullet holes. Four more could be seen in the siding above the window and another below it.
Police have described the shooting as targeted because gunfire was found only on that home, and no others. In such cases, there is the possibility that the shooters had the wrong house.
"It was targeted because the house itself was hit by all 12 shots thatwe believe were fired," Raap said. "As far as motive or who inside the house was targeted, we don't have that yet."
