Former Milwaukee Hotel Workers Plead Not Guilty in D'Vontaye Mitchell Case

Four ex-employees face felony murder charges after Mitchell's death from restraint asphyxia during a hotel altercation.

D'Vontaye Mitchell died on June 30 after being pinned down by hotel staff outside a Milwaukee Hyatt Regency.
The four defendants, including two security guards, have been fired and now face felony murder charges.
Mitchell's death was ruled a homicide, with contributing factors including restraint asphyxia and drug toxicity.
The incident has drawn comparisons to the 2020 murder of George Floyd, igniting discussions on the use of force.
Bail for the defendants has been reduced, with all four released from jail pending trial.
