A young boy discovered wandering alone in Milwaukee has a connection to a woman who was found shot to death in an alley on that same day.

Anya Raymond, 31, was discovered deceased around 9 a.m. on November 5, approximately five hours after the child was found about three miles away in northern Milwaukee, as reported by WISN. The boy was barefoot, lacking both shoes and socks.

Authorities described the child as being between 5 and 6 years old and noted that he appeared to be non-verbal. They later confirmed that his family had been located, and he was reunited with them shortly after 4 p.m.

While investigators have not disclosed the exact relationship between the boy and the deceased woman, social media posts suggest he might have been her son.

Rosetta Lampkin-Johnson, who discovered the body in the alley, recounted to WISN that she immediately ran to notify the police. She mentioned that she did not recognize the woman and had not heard any gunshots prior to finding the body.

“She must have been killed somewhere else and brought here,” she said. “You don’t want to see that or see anything happen to someone like that, and my heart goes out to the family.”
