MILWAUKEE (WISN) — Four months after 64-year-old Sharon Price was fatally shot in her Milwaukee home, her family remains desperate for answers and justice as police continue to investigate the incident that occurred in September near 29th and Roosevelt in the Garden Homes neighborhood.
Nora Nimmer, Price’s sister, expressed disbelief over the situation, saying, “It doesn’t seem real to me that someone can be in their own home and they’re shot dead.”
Nimmer discovered her sister’s body in her home, which is located right behind her own. She is left with sorrow and many questions, unsure if the shooting was random or intentional.
“We don’t know if it’s a random shot that hit her or intentional, either way that shouldn’t… my sister should be here,” she said.
The circumstances surrounding Price’s death are unusual.
“I was trying to clean the blood up off the floor, and I was trying to look into the adjacent window, and I’m hearing birds, and I’m like, what’s that sound, is that a hole in that window?” Nimmer recalled.
Initially, police on the scene dismissed the hole in the window, ruling Price’s cause of death as a fall. Nimmer, however, was certain that was not the case.
“They took her body out as a fall victim, not until the next day, we requested an autopsy report,” she said. “The autopsy report came back early in the morning to let us know there was a bullet in my sister’s head.”
The medical examiner later confirmed that Price’s cause of death was a gunshot wound, as stated on her death certificate.
“I really miss her because I miss seeing her every day, saying hi to her, checking on her, and she was always the person who checked on me. So now I don’t feel like I don’t have that.”
Nimmer is now seeking answers and justice, urging the person responsible to come forward.
Nimmer also shared that her sister’s husband died from cancer just a month after the shooting.
Police are still investigating the case, but Nimmer has not received any updates in months and hopes to hear from someone soon.
