Here in Milwaukee, activists and community members gathered in the streets to condemn the police killing Tuesday of 43-year-old Milwaukee resident Samuel Sharpe. The officers who killed Sharpe, an unhoused Black veteran, are from Ohio and are in Wisconsin as part of a group of 4,500 law enforcement officials in Milwaukee for the RNC. But the shooting took place a mile from the RNC’s proceedings. Sharpe appeared to be in the middle of an altercation with another man when the police officers charged toward him before fatally shooting him.

Separately, community members on Tuesday rallied outside Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm’s house, demanding justice for D’Vontaye Mitchell, the 43-year-old Black father who was killed by security guards last month when they pinned Mitchell to the ground outside the Hyatt Regency Hotel in downtown Milwaukee.
