Vigil for teens killed in Southside shooting

Isaac, 15, and Diego Herrera, 16, were best friends. Now their families grieve at their vigil.

Both teens were side by side when they were killed in a shooting Saturday evening near S. 8th St. and W. Manitoba St. according to the Milwaukee Police Department.

Isaac died at the scene. Diego was taken to the hospital where he later died from his injuries — he had just turned 16 and was killed when he was celebrating his birthday.

"He really liked basketball, he liked hanging out with his friends and cousins a lot," Rodrigo Herrera, brother of Diego, said. "He was very kind, he has a kind soul and he gets along with everybody. He is just easy-going, ya know?"

Emily Rocha, Diego's cousin, was the other teen shot in the incident. She was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and she is in stable condition.

A GoFundMewas created to help the families pay for the funeral. The families want to combine their funerals and bury them side by side.
