Three people were injured in a shooting at a Walmart in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Sunday, according to local authorities.

An 18-year-old man, a 20-year-old man, and a 29-year-old woman were shot in the incident, police said. No arrests have been made, and an investigation is underway, police said to FOX6 and TMJ4.

The shooting occurred at around 1:30 p.m. local time at the E. Capitol Drive Walmart. It’s not clear if the shooting occurred inside the store or in the parking lot.

Those with information about the shooting are asked to call 414-935-7360 or Crime Stoppers at 414-224-TIPS.

The shooting comes about a month after a man who was shot during a mass shooting at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, died of his injuries months after it happened.

Guillermo “Memo” Garcia passed away in late April 2020, said his wife, Jessica Coco Garcia, according to KVIA. It means that 23 people have died in the 2019 attack.

“He fought long and hard, with the help of all his troops he won many battles, but lost the war,” Garcia said in the statement to the station. “We would like to ask the community to continue to lift Memo in prayer and allow us to grieve this tremendous loss. We are asking for privacy during this time.”
