MILWAUKEE (WSAU-Wheeler News) Milwaukee Police are looking for a gunman who killed a man yesterday in front of the victim’s wife and 11-year-old son. His widow identified him as 48-year-old Jay Ro, a father-of-four whose family are refugees from Burma. They settled in Milwaukee four years ago.
Catrina Ro tells WISN TV that a man knocked on their door yesterday morning, and told the 11-year-old he was there to fix something. Once he got in, Catrina said the shooter put a gun to the boy’s head, walked him to a kitchen, and demanded money. His father was said to have lunged at the gunman — who pushed his hands away from Ro and then shot him. Catrina told the T-V reporter that her husband used to work at a Cargill plant which shut down. He was still out of work when he died.
