The 2-year-old stepped into the road — right into the path of an oncoming van. The van hit the toddler, and the driver jumped out to check on the badly injured boy, setting into motion a chain of events that included an uncle fatally shooting his own nephew and a stranger and then taking his own life. In the end, four people were dead. It all started Sunday as Ar- chie Brown Jr. drove his van through the northwest side of Milwaukee on an errand to Home Depot. Brown hit Damani and leaped from the vehicle to at- tend to the toddler. Damani’s 15-year-old brother, who had been celebrating a birthday in a nearby house, ran to his brother after witnessing the accident. At that point, police said, the boys’ uncle, Ricky Chil- es, took the law into his own hands, emerging from a home into the street with a gun. +H ¿UHG DW WKH \HDUROG Brown, striking him and hit- ting Chiles’ teenage nephew, who witnesses said was at- tempting to help when he was shot. Brown died at the scene, alongside Damani. The teen- ager, Rasheed Chiles, died at a hospital. “This sad example is what we get when we have folks who decide it’s their respon- sibility to use their guns to redress their grievances,” Milwaukee Police Chief Ed- ward Flynn said Thursday at a news conference. Mayor Tom Barrett earlier in the week called Brown’s shooting an “assassination.” “Someone got angry,” Barrett said. “Someone took a gun and basically assassinat- ed this gentleman.” On Thursday, Ricky Chil- Individual, Child and Family Therapist is closing her private practice as of April 27th 2015. A big thank you to Pendleton area for supporting the practice! Records available after closing date by sending request to: Jackie Downie, LCSW PO Box 484 Pinedale, WY 82941-0484 sensibility among a segment of the community that com- mitting acts of violence in support of one’s reputation, to get revenge for a perceived slight or for a perceived busi- ness dispute over illegal drugs or to exact revenge is some- how approved,” Flynn said. “And in that set of circum- stances there’s going to be not only tragedies, there’s going to be dreadful mistakes.” Barbara Sprewer, who lives next door, said she saw Damani looking around be- fore crossing the street, ap- parently intending to join the girls in the park. She saw the van and estimated it was go- ing 25 to 30 mph. “Nobody was watching the baby,” she said. After the child was hit, she saw the driver get out. She said she heard shots, but did QRWVHHZKR¿UHG “I feel helpless. I feel numb,” she said. “I saw them alive, and I saw them de- ceased. I’ve been reliving this since I woke up.” COMING EVENTS FRIDAY, APRIL 17 WALKING FOR WELLNESS, 8:30-9:30 a.m., Pendleton Recre- ation Center, 510 S.W. Dorion Ave. (541-276-8100).
