Chronicle: Popular Milwaukee barber killed at traffic light

A Milwaukee barber was shot and killed at a traffic light.

‘Pook The Barber’ was murdered in cold blood.

His family witnessed the attack.

Julio Sostre Vargas, 30, was a popular barber in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Nearly everyone knew and respected him, but for some unknown reason it seems he had at least one enemy.

The saddest thing of all is that this person shot and killed Julio without even caring that he was with his family.

Everything indicates that the shooter was following him and that, upon catching up to him at a red light, he decided to end his life once and for all.

Any civilized person would think that their dispute could be resolved by talking it out, but that was not the case.

Julio’s shooter pulled out a gun, the caliber of which has not yet been revealed by local authorities, and fired a hail of bullets at him.

It is estimated that in total there were more than two dozen shots fired at the vehicle where the victim was driving with his wife and barely five-year-old son.

The driver’s side was hit 12 times, while the windshield was hit another 10. In the face of such an attack, it was almost impossible for Julio to have escaped.

In fact, he died instantly and when the paramedics and police responded to the scene, they were unable to revive him.

To make matters worse, his little boy was severely injured in the brutal attack.

He was immediately taken to a nearby hospital, where they managed to stabilize him.

It is known that he is still alive, but the child’s current condition is unknown. A woman who was in the car with them was unharmed.

I suppose that the emotional trauma she must feel after being in the middle of such a terrible attack will be with her for the rest of her days.

Julio Sostre Vargas, better known as ‘Pook The Barber’, had stopped to wait for the traffic light to change when he was shot.

It wasn’t just any street, but a busy intersection, and even that didn’t matter to his killer who was in a silver SUV.

Milwaukee police recovered about 15 shell casings from the crime scene, which are now being investigated as evidence.

The investigation is in full swing

So far it is unknown if there was just one shooter, but what a sad incident this is. I hope the killer is identified and arrested soon.

It is nothing new for people to have beef with each other. And sometimes envy makes enemies.

There are also times when you may anger someone else, but there is no justification for taking up arms and going to kill him.

Unfortunately, this is the sad truth. Thank you for reading my Chronicle today at MundoNow. Please share it and until the next Chronicle.
