A family wants answers after a young father was shot and killed Thursday night.

The incident happened around 7 p.m. near North 39th Street and West Capitol Drive. Authorities have identified the victim as 21-year-old William Brooks. His family says he went by "Will."

"He is a fun, loving, caring person. He wants to talk to everybody and laugh with everybody," Brooks' mother Shirley Ragland told TMJ4.

The shooter fired from inside a car, according to the Milwaukee Police Department.

Will was one of seven children. He played basketball growing up and showed his creativity in his fashion and cars.

"He (Will) always looked out for me. He really took care of me like a father figure," Will's brother Joshua Brooks explained.

"Just to know him is to love him," Ragland said.
