Milwaukee - On Tuesday, police responded to call that a woman had been fatally shot at about 7:30 p.m. while she was at a bus stop in the 3300 block of N. Holton St. She was identified by relatives as Diamaris Gonzalez, 23, who had just left her job at the Community Food Store, 3334 N. Holton St. and was catching a bus. She worked as a cashier.
She was taking the bus, because her car had been towed away a day before when her boyfriend was driving it. Her boyfriend had accompanied Gonzalez to the bus stop, but left briefly to throw up as a result of drinking sickness, according to a relative that said, the boyfriend had told the family.
Gonzalez was shot in the chest and died at the scene. The boyfriend told relatives that Gonzalez had died in his arms. A relative said, police had told them that it looked like a robbery gone wrong, but no jewelry or belongings were missing from Gonzalez.
Gonzalez leaves two children, a 1-year-old girl and a 3-year-old boy.
Police are investigating to see, if surveillance video cameras near the scene captured the alleged robbery and shooting.
