Four Hotel Workers Charged in Murder of D’Vontaye Mitchell in Milwaukee

HeadlineAug 07, 2024

In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, four hotel workers have been charged with felony murder in connection with the death of D’Vontaye Mitchell, a 43-year-old Black father who died on June 30 after security guards pinned him to the ground for over eight minutes outside a Hyatt Regency hotel. An attorney for Mitchell’s family, William Sutton, welcomed the charges, saying, “What caused his death was the fact that four people beat him to death on the sidewalk and jumped on top of him. That is why he’s dead.”
