A baby inside the residence survived the bloodbath, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett told reporters at the scene. Investigators believe the shooter decided to spare the infant.
Police recovered a weapon at the scene.
Stokes has several prior arrests dating back to 2002, which prohibit him from legally owning a gun, according to online records.
He was sentenced to four-and-a-half years in prison in 2007 after pleading guilty to felony battery, felony bail jumping and felony intimidation of a witness.
In 2017, he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor disorderly conduct and was sentenced to a month in jail with work-release privileges.
