The Latest: Chief: Officer, Man In Fatal Shooting Both Black
MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Latest on violence in Milwaukee following the shooting of a man by police (all times local):
3:15 p.m.
Milwaukee police say both the man whose fatal shooting sparked violent protests in the city and the police officer who shot him are black.
Chief Edward Flynn made the disclosure at a news conference Sunday. Flynn identified the man killed Saturday as 23-year-old Sylville K. Smith, and says Smith had a "lengthy arrest record."
Mayor Tom Barrett says a still image pulled from the officer's body camera shows "without question" that Smith had a gun in his hand when he was shot.
Police earlier said Smith fled from a traffic stop. Flynn said he wasn't sure what prompted the stop, but said Smith's car was "behaving suspiciously."
