Video Release of MPD Officer Involved Shooting MILWAUKEE, WI— On Wednesday, September 17, 2025, at approximately 11:27 p.m., Milwaukee Police officers conducted a traffic stop on the 1200 block of W. Greenfield Avenue. The driver stopped, exited the vehicle, fled on foot and a foot pursuit ensued. The officers gave the suspect commands to stop; however, the suspect refused and continue to flee. During the foot pursuit, the suspect dropped a firearm and attempted to retrieve it at which time an officer discharged his firearm, subsequently striking the suspect. No one else was struck by gunfire. The suspect, Kennth O. Cubero, was transported to a hospital for treatment of non-fatal injuries. His firearm was recovered. Cubero was arrested and criminal charged. Our officer that discharged his firearm is a 26-year-old male with over 6 years of service. Our officer was placed on administrative duty as is routine in officer involved shootings. The Milwaukee Police Homicide Unit is investigating this incident. 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.
