Joint Statement on Death of Milwaukee Police Officer

We mourn with sadness, pain, and anger the loss of our fallen Milwaukee Police officer, killed in the line of duty early this morning during an interaction with a robbery suspect on the near south side.  As Common Council members we know well the deep sacrifices and dedicated service of the men and women of the Milwaukee Police Department, and we offer our heartfelt sympathies to the officer’s family and to each and every member of the Milwaukee Police Department family.

The officer we lost was assigned to District 4, but was assisting with activities on the other end of the city. This is not uncommon, as our officers are consistently working together to serve our entire city with selflessness and courage.

As we have seen before, the coming days will be very difficult and filled with grief, as we stand together to honor our fallen officer who showed such devotion to the City of Milwaukee. We will also stand with the entire Milwaukee Police Department in unity to offer our full support during this time of mourning.

We encourage the wider Milwaukee community to join with us in honoring the memory of our fallen officer while continuing to support one another during this painful time.

We also ask community members to pray for peace, for a stop to the normalization of gun carrying and/or gun culture, and for an end to senseless violence anywhere and everywhere in our city.
