Shortly after 2:45 a.m. on Dec. 31, Whitefish Bay Police responded to calls of shots fired in the 4900 block of North Anita Avenue.

Officers found an 18-year-old Whitefish Bay woman on the sidewalk with multiple gunshot wounds, and began life-saving measures until North Shore Fire Department arrived. The woman died at the scene.

After an "extensive" investigation, three men were taken into custody on March 21 with assistance from several law enforcement agencies, including the Milwaukee Police Department and the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office, a Monday news release from Whitefish Bay Police said.
