Protesters Friday gathered outside the house of Michael Mattioli, the Milwaukee Police officer charged with the off-duty death of 25-year-old Joel Acevedo.
On the morning of April 19, officers were called to a report of a man attacking two people at Mattioli’s home near 45th and Cleveland. According to the criminal complaint, Mattioli and Acevedo were involved in an altercation that night. When police arrived, they found Mattioli on top of an unresponsive Acevedo. He was not breathing.
Eventually, Acevedo was transported to the hospital where he “was unresponsive to outside stimuli and was on a ventilator.” He died nearly a week later on April 25.
