Milwaukee Police Department Community Briefings

MILWAUKEE, WI – As a part of the Community Briefing Series, the Milwaukee Police Department (MPD) is releasing relevant information regarding the in-custody death that occurred on Wednesday, February 23, 2022, at Milwaukee Police Department District Five located at 2920 Vel R. Phillips Avenue, and the officer-involved shooting that occurred on Friday, February 25, 2022, on the 2900 block of N. 6th Street.

The Community Briefing video series was created by MPD to promote transparency and accountability with the public and to provide relevant information about critical incidents. MPD’s goal is to continue to release relevant video regarding critical incidents within a reasonable amount of time after the incident unless releasing such video would jeopardize the integrity of the investigation.

Pursuant to the Milwaukee Police Department’s Standard Operating Procedure, a critical incident that involves the death or great bodily harm of a person will be investigated by an outside and independent law enforcement agency. These incidents are being investigated by the Milwaukee Area Investigative Team. The Waukesha Police Department led the February 23, 2022 investigation and the West Allis Police Department led the February 25, 2022 investigation.
