So sorry Prince. Yet another child's bright future taken away before it hardly began. If the 27-year-old may potentially be the mother's boyfriend, I wonder who the 15-year-old is? This is just sick. Absolutely sick. AMO.

I'm wondering the same. I would also like to know the TOD. IMO

I don't believe that the 27 year old is the mother's boyfriend. The PD hasn't yet revealed the identities of the two who were arrested. I'm speculating they are from the neighborhood, but I don't want to speculate too much. Would rather wait for the facts.

According to Prince's grandmother is this WISN video, Prince lives with his mom and dad. His dad took a nap, and when he went downstairs Prince was missing.

He was last seen by his mother about 9 a.m. Wednesday in the 2400 block of North 54th Street in the Uptown neighborhood, about a mile away from the location of the dumpster. He was reported as critically missing about 6 p.m. Wednesday.

"The Milwaukee Police Department sends our deepest condolences to the family of Prince McCree and everyone that was impacted by this tragic incident," the department said in a statement.

State Sen. LaTonya Johnson, a neighbor of the family, said Prince’s parents were knocking door-to-door in search of him into the night Wednesday. She said the two persons of interest live in the same home, but she was unsure of their relation to the family.

“They were distraught,” Johnson said of the family. “It was a shock. This neighborhood is relatively quiet. You don’t see a lot of police activity. We knew it was something serious.”

This is so sad, I keep coming back and searching for who those 2 people were that are in custody. My prayers for Little Prince and his family. I'm sick about this.

 

[swanniee11]

I'm not sure if it was mentioned but his last name is Mccree.

 

[Inthedetails]

Nooooooooooooo! I had a horrible feeling about it but I was hoping he was just a wandering little guy. Horrible.

I had the same hope and the same nooooooooooooooooo reaction to the news.

News video, reporter says a 27yr old resisted arrest, 15 yr old for homicide, no names.

poor babe Prince
what a cutie he was
I hope his murderers rot

I'm not sure if it was mentioned but his last name is Mccree.

Not sure which is the correct spelling. The PD seems to be consistent in spelling it McRee and that is the way it is spelled in the early media reports. Now some of the media are spelling it McCree. Once the parents names are released we will know for sure which is correct.

What does that mean? The 2 poi's live together in the same home-----OR the 2 pods in the same home as the victim?

 

[ChatteringBirds]

If guilty and IMO: Two people living together both involved in doing such a horrific thing, neither one deciding to do the right thing? Both thought putting a little boy into a dumpster was an acceptable decision? One full-grown adult and one teen -- What on Earth was going on in their family? (Assuming the two arrested might be related if they live together.)

At least they were quickly caught and he was found. May there be some real justice coming.

Milwaukee boy's body found in dumpster, police investigate homicide

"Anybody who can do a baby like that, that’s the most cruel thing anybody can do to a child."

www.fox6now.com

***********
FOX6 News looked at police documents that listed a 27-year-old man taken into custody for resisting arrest and obstruction roughly four hours before McCree's body was found. The 15-year-old was arrested for homicide roughly an hour and 23 minutes after police found McCree's body.

************
McCree's mother was not ready to speak on camera, but told FOX6 News he was a very smart boy, outgoing, always happy, loved his brothers and sisters a lot, and would do anything to help anybody. His death has left a family and community shaken.

This article references a fundraising page that has been set up for Prince's parents (can't link here due to TOS.) It was started by the cousin of Prince's mother. In the comments she says that the two males who were arrested live nearby and that one of them has a mental condition. (Also -- she spells the surname McCree -- so that must be the correct spelling.)

ETA : This video shows the house where the arrests were made.

Okay, this is getting complicated. I'm wondering if the 15yo did something and an older brother helped cover it up?? Total speculation.

Condolences to little Prince's family.

I was not expecting the suspect to be the 15 year old, was definitely expecting a "crappy stepdad/boyfriend" performance. Only slightly shocking, considering how Milwaukee is. The only bright point for that poor baby and this entire situation is that whatever evil was torturing him then can't touch him anymore. I hate it here. Can the aliens come pick us up soon? This place sucks.

This is so sad,my heart breaks for princes family .may justice be quick, at least the suspects have been arrested hopefully more info comes out today jmoo
