Alvin Cole, Fatal Shooting, Wisconsin 2023
Alvin Cole was shot and killed in an officer-involved shooting in Wisconsin, sparking outrage and calls for justice.
This afternoon, the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office announced that it will not pursue criminal charges related to the shooting.
Federal law enforcement in Wisconsin is sworn to protect First Amendment rights, which include the rights to speak and assemble peacefully. However, in the past year, Wisconsin communities have suffered episodes of violent civil unrest.
Federal law enforcement is joined with state and local authorities to address any further violence. Federal law imposes serious penalties for arson, rioting, firearms offenses, and other violent crimes, which will be prosecuted to the fullest extent possible.
No one else in Wisconsin should become a victim of needless violence or face destruction of a business as a result of unrest.
