Video Release of MPD Officer Involved Critical Incident MILWAUKEE, WI— On September 16, 2025, at approximately 10:58 a.m., the Milwaukee Police Department was dispatched to a call in the 1500 block of S. 20th Street, to check the welfare of an individual that was walking in and out of the street. Upon arrival, while checking the area an officer struck an individual that was lying in the entrance of the alley with his squad car. The individual, a 31-year-old, was transported to a hospital and was pronounced deceased by medical staff. Our officer involved is a 44-year-old male with over 18 years of service. He was placed on administrative duty as is routine in officer involved incidents. The Milwaukee Area Investigative Team will be investigating this incident. The Waukesha Police Department is the lead agency. 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. Viewer discretion is advised.
