MILWAUKEE, Wis. – County Executive David Crowley issued the following statement in response to today’s police-involved shooting in Madison.

“I am horrified by the reports coming out of Madison about a man who was shot and killed in the street by police officers.

“While details are still emerging and a full accounting of what happened is still needed, these reports are painfully reminiscent of the tragedies we have witnessed in Kenosha, Minneapolis, and far too many communities across our country. Each incident reopens deep wounds, raises difficult questions, and reminds us of the urgent work that remains to build trust, transparency, and accountability in our systems.

“My heart is with the individual’s loved ones, who are now facing an unimaginable loss, and with the entire Madison community as it grapples with this tragedy. As the investigation moves forward, it is critical that it be thorough, transparent, and independent wherever appropriate. We must allow the facts to come to light while reaffirming our shared commitment to justice, accountability, and the dignity of every human life.”
