The Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office has determined Wauwatosa Police Officer Joseph Mensah was justified in shooting teenager Alvin Cole outside Mayfair Mall February 2nd.
The decision was announced Wednesday afternoon. Officials had said Cole ran from police and fired at officers before Mensah shot and fatally wounded the 17-year-old.
Mensah has shot three people to death in the line of duty over a five-year period.
Governor Tony Evers sent Wisconsin National Guard troops to the Milwaukee suburb to help with security if the expected protests turn violent.
