MILWAUKEE — A police shooting has left one person dead in Milwaukee.
Video obtained by TMJ4 showed the high-speed pursuit and foot chase that ensued leading up to the shooting.
TMJ4 was alerted to a large police presence near 107th and Good Hope Road Sunday night. We've been told a man was pronounced dead at the scene and that he was shot by an officer after claiming to be armed and threatening suicide by police.
Police from several area agencies were on scene near I-41 and Good Hope on Sunday night. Police crime scene tape marked the area as investigators combed the area for evidence.
At around 11:45 p.m., the Medical Examiner's office confirmed that their office was responding to the scene.
Police tell us the situation began with Slinger police looking for a 47-year-old man wanted for child abuse, disorderly conduct, domestic violence and exposing himself to a minor. officers in Slinger say he had threatened "suicide by cop," according to a press release.
Just before 9:00 Sunday night, Germantown officers spotted the suspect and began to chase him in their squad car — that chase got up to speeds of more than 100 miles per hour.
That chase ended near I-41, around Highway 145, according to officers. They say the suspect got out of the car and started running. Witnesses called police to report seeing the suspect near 107th and Good Hope.
Investigators say that's where the suspect engaged with a Milwaukee County Sheriff's deputy and other officers, before the deputy shot the suspect multiple times. The suspect died on the scene, despite life-saving measures.
Officers also found a knife.
Video along I-41 captured squad cars pursuing the suspect vehicle. A camera near Park Place showed a man scrambling out of a vehicle and lead law enforcement on foot chase. The man is seen bolting through a grassy area, jumping a fence then running across frontage roads to a dog park.
The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office identified the man Wednesday as Steven A. Wyman.
Slinger Police would only say that they responded to a domestic dispute around 8:00 Sunday night prior to the pursuit.
That deputy is a 7 year veteran who has been placed on administrative leave — which is standard procedure.
Brookfield Police Department is the lead agency as the investigation into the situation continues. Those officers are being assisted by the Milwaukee Area Investigative Team.
