Overview

• The footage shows a minor crash on Oct. 9, the drivers exiting, Elijah Wilks striking the off-duty officer with a gun, and both exchanging gunfire.
• Milwaukee Police made the video public about four days after the shooting, earlier than the department’s typical 15-day release window.
• The family, through attorney B'Ivory LaMarr, reviewed the footage and said the officer’s use of force was justified.
• West Allis Police are leading the investigation under the Milwaukee Area Investigative Team, and the 40-year-old officer with more than 21 years of service is on administrative duty after hospital treatment.
• A neighbor reported a 10mm round recovered from a nearby home, and Milwaukee Police say they do not issue 10mm service weapons as ballistics review continues.
