Video and photos from several of our crews showed a giant black plume of smoke rising into the air.

Officials with the Potawatomi Casino Hotel say a problem with the boiler system led to the fire. They say the building containing the boiler system is being evacuated. They say that does not include the hotel and the hotel is not being evacuated.

“The entire casino is being evacuated,” according to a post from Potawatomi’s Facebook page.

MFD Chief Aaron Lipski told TMJ4 that there was a fire in the HVAC air handling system on the roof. The fire is under control, and there are no injuries.

An Easter weekend shooting claimed the life of a 40-year-old father and grandfather.

Family has identified the victim as Tremayne “Trell” Montgomery.

Milwaukee police responded to the shooting near Hampton and Fond du Lac avenues at 11:50 p.m. Saturday night. Montgomery’s family said he was at Fremos, a nearby bar, before the shots rang out.

“I couldn’t believe it. Another victim to our society. Mine, one of mine. It hits different when it hits home,” said Sommer Jordan, Montgomery’s sister.

Jordan and dozens of other family members and friends gathered together Sunday to honor Montgomery’s life.

“You see everybody out here? We’re out here to celebrate his life, not his death, but his life,” said Janae Jordan, another one of his sisters.

Montgomery died at the scene, and police are still trying to identify the shooter.

“I have faith that we will get justice for Tremayne Montgomery,” said Janae Jordan.

“We will. We will,” added Sommer Jordan.

As Montgomery’s family now seeks justice, the Milwaukee Police Department is asking anyone with information on the shooting to contact them at 414-935-7360. Callers may remain anonymous by contacting Crime Stoppers at 414-224-TIPS or by using the P3 Tips app.

Loved ones described Montgomery as an entrepreneur who always put family first. They have started an online fundraiser to help cover the unexpected funeral costs.
