A family member of a woman whose fatal shooting was streamed on Facebook Live said she feels "numb," in comments to local media. "It was on [Facebook] Live, just imagine waking up on social media and seeing your family member had just been shot," Savannah Hudson, cousin of victim Ashley Hudson, told FOX6 News Milwaukee. "That's wild so it's been hard for everyone." The Milwaukee Police Department told Newsweek that a 30-year-old was shot on Monday in the 300 block of West Vliet Street. Officials said she sustained fatal gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. Police said a 15-year-old male, a 16-year-old female and a 21-year-old female have been arrested in connection with the incident. The department did not release the identities of the arrested individuals. Stock image: Generic police lights at a crime scene investigation.

Court documents show Ashley had obtained restraining orders against her mother and sister prior to the deadly incident, CBS 58 out of Milwaukee reported. In a 2023 petition, Ashley said she was "not safe" and "fearing for my life." "This is what she'd been saying for the longest, basically, in ways. But we never knew that they would do this to her. Like this," Shamira McGhee, another sister of Ashley, told the outlet. Ashley's mother had also filed restraining orders against her daughter, alleging in a 2019 petition Ashley "pulled a knife from my kitchen on me" and "threw a brick and it hit me in my left side." Ashley's mother, Tara Hudson, has denied any involvement in comments to CBS 58. She confirmed that a dispute broke out between her children prior to the shooting. "I was begging them to leave. Leave her alone, let her go. And my kids just refused to," Tara said. What To Know Analyssa Thompson, a friend of Ashley, told WTMJ-TV out of Milwaukee that a gunman shot Ashley, then fled the scene. "He put it up to her, and she said, 'Don't shoot me' and he shot her." Thompson said. "She stumbled all the way over here, and she fell on the floor, and she just like she just sat there shaking, and it wasn't fair to her." Savannah asked the public to refrain from disseminating the video on social media. "I really would appreciate if people would just stop sharing the video and making the negative comments about the situation because that's not doing anything, [not] helping our family," Savannah said. What People Are Saying Savannah Hudson, cousin of Ashley Hudson, in comments to FOX6 News Milwaukee: "She was brave. She was fun. She always is the life of the party, made people smile." Antoine McGhee, Sr., father of Ashley Hudson, in comments to CBS 58: "She was my daughter. She had her problems, but that was my daughter and I loved her to death." What Happens Next The Milwaukee Police Department continues to investigate the incident. Police said criminal charges will be referred to the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office.

Sade Robinson homicide; Maxwell Anderson trial begins Tuesday, May 27
The Brief Maxwell Anderson goes on trial on Tuesday, May 27, accused in the death of Sade Robinson. Robinson was last seen alive in April 2024. Prosecutors say her body was dismembered. Anderson's trial could last up to two weeks. MILWAUKEE - It has been more than a year since Sade Robinson was last seen alive. Now, the trial of the man prosecutors say killed and dismembered her is set to begin. What we know After several delays, Maxwell Anderson's homicide trial is set to start on Tuesday, May 27. It is expected to last up to two weeks. Up first is the process of selecting jurors for the high-profile case. At least 70 jurors are expected to be called for the selection process. What they're saying Defense attorney Jonathan LaVoy is one of the legal experts FOX6 News viewers can expect to see throughout the trial. "It is going to be tough to find jurors that don't know a lot about the case," LaVoy said. "The parties are going to be focusing on jurors that are going to be fair and impartial."

Timeline Robinson and Anderson were seen at two Milwaukee bars on April 1, 2024, on a first date. Less than 24 hours later, Robinson's severed leg was found at Warnimont Park in Cudahy. In the days that followed, other human remains were later found in the area of 30th and Walnut, just blocks from where Robinson's car was found torched on the morning of April 2. Around that time, prosecutors say these surveillance photos are of Anderson leaving, and hopping a bus back to his home on Milwaukee's south side. It is that home investigators searched two days later, and where prosecutors believe Robinson went after leaving a Water Street bar. What's next The trial is likely to feature a lot of technical information – CPS, cellphone data, detailed scientific evidence.
