It's our big story tonight at nine.
Face to face with death for the first time.
We're hearing from a woman who was shot last month.
Her loved one was also shot and killed on Milwaukee's north side.
The man police say is responsible is still on the run tonight.
Christina Van Zels is here with why family is calling
on accountability from police ahead of her funeral. Christina.
Yeah, Mary, back on October 8th,
police say Timothy Taylor shot and killed 20-year-old
Amaya Walls in a domestic incident.
Police were familiar with Taylor because they did
respond to an incident hours before the deadly shooting.
We talked with a woman who was there
for it all. Since she is a victim
and the suspect is still not in custody tonight,
she does fear for her safety.
She says Taylor doesn't know her name and she hadn't met him
before the night of that shooting.
Because of that, we did conceal the victim's identity
And we changed her.
her voice as she describes what happened that day.
He shot her, the first bullet
killed her, you know.
Shot her two more times lucky to be alive but scared to live.
This woman was shot near 42nd
and good hope a month ago.
20 year old Amaya Walls was shot and killed. The suspect Timothy
Taylor is still on the run.
Mentally I'm still like paranoid and like scared. She describes the
domestic incident police responded to the same day between Taylor
and Walls. The two used to date
Court records show Taylor had a no-contact order with Walls.
She says Taylor physically assaulted Walls,
and when police arrived, the two had a phone call.
Walls had it on speaker, and Taylor made threats
that he was going to shoot up the house and her.
You hear a police officer,
and you hear someone saying they're going to shoot up the premises,
you want to stay longer,
try to case the neighborhood, but they didn't do that.
Two hours later...
We hear the car...
Screech up like the screeching of his wheels
and she was yelling for him to get away from her and I
was yelling at her my usual spray before she could pull it.
He shot her. The woman says she was shot in the arm and Taylor hit
her in the head with his gun before he ran off. I died that day too.
Even I'm still right here. Thursday is Wall's funeral.
Another family member whose identity is anonymous,
also out of fear of retaliation, says closure is hard to come by.
It's like he just walking around after he didn't.
After he just did something, you just, you just walking around freely.
So it would mean everything to us when he get locked up.
We reached out to police about Taylor's whereabouts,
but have not heard back.
Family says Walls would have turned 21 on November 2nd.
They do have a GoFundMe for funeral expenses, which is on Thursday.
We have that linked on the Fox local app.

All right, Christina, thank you.
