Milwaukee, WI - On Sunday, three victims including a married couple were killed by a lone shooter what some surviving witnesses are claiming to be a dispute over the use of a four unit apartment laundry machine. According to the family members of the couple killed, the washing machine and dryer belonged to them and allowed for the other tenants to use them.

The Vue-Xiong family members are saying that Manso-Pérez was shot first over a laundry dispute and that both Mia and Phia were just innocent victims. Mia had just received her Bachelor degree from college.
The suspect identified as Dan Popp went outside and began to fire shots into the sky and ran out of bullets, that's when police arrived and surrendered. He was taken into custody.
Police have not released any information about what triggered Popp to kill the three victims. The triple homicide investigation is ongoing, according to police.
