MILWAUKEE, WI— On Saturday, August 9, 2025, at approximately 7:00 p.m., Milwaukee Police officers went to the area of the 2700 block of North 60th Street to investigate a vehicle related to multiple business robberies. The vehicle was located on the scene in the rear of a residence. While investigating the residence, the officers encountered an armed suspect on the rear porch.

Officers gave the suspect several commands to drop the gun. The suspect refused, and gunfire was exchanged between the suspect and officers. The suspect was subsequently struck. No officers were struck by the gunfire.

The suspect, a 31-year-old man, sustained fatal gunshot injuries. The suspect’s firearm was recovered next to him.

The four officers that discharged their firearm are:
– A 46-year-old male with over 21 years of service
– A 36-year-old male with over 8 years of service
– A 30-year-old male with over 5 years of service
– A 29-year-old male with over 11 years of service

Our officers were placed on administrative duty as is routine in officer-involved shootings.

The Milwaukee Area Investigative Team is investigating this incident. The Brookfield Police Department is the lead agency. The investigation is still ongoing.

The Milwaukee Police Department’s Video Release Policy Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) 575 establishes criteria for when video evidence that captures officer-involved incidents that result in death or great bodily harm will be released to the public. This policy is intended to balance important interests, including the public’s interest in transparency and police accountability, the necessity of preserving the integrity of criminal and administrative investigations, and the privacy interests of individuals depicted in such videos (including victims, witnesses, bystanders, and the individuals against whom force is used). This policy creates a presumption of release. It is our goal to release video in officer-involved incidents according to SOP 575 within 15 days of the incident.
