July 16, 2024
Following the tragic death of Mr. Mitchell, our office is working to ensure justice and accountability. The results of a full autopsy performed by the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner‘s Office are vital to our office’s evaluation of criminal liability for Mr. Mitchell’s death. These results are still pending as of Tuesday, July 16. We anticipate a swift decision in this matter upon the return of these findings.

Regardless of the autopsy, we all saw the murder of this individual and the over the top violent reaction by rogue security officers. This was clearly an incident of emotional distress experienced by the victim wherein he ran, probably unknowingly into a woman’s restroom. So what–since when do we murder people who are in need of our help?!
