The Milwaukee County District Attorney's office said in a news release that arrest warrants had been issued for all four employees.
Prosecutors charged four Milwaukee hotel employees Tuesday with being a party to felony murder in connection with D'Vontaye Mitchell's death.
It was unclear if any of the other three employees had attorneys. Online court records didn't list any for them Tuesday evening. A telephone listing for Williamson had been disconnected, and The Associated Press could not immediately locate phone numbers or other contact information for Johnson-Carson or Turner.
Hyatt surveillance video shows Mitchell frantically running into the hotel's lobby and then into the gift shop before entering the women's bathroom, the complaint said. A few seconds later, a woman emerges and Turner, who was off-duty but happened to be visiting staff at that moment, drags Mitchell out of the bathroom into the lobby by his shirt.
Turner told a detective that said that he heard women screaming in the bathroom after Mitchell entered it, and he thought Mitchell was on drugs. At one point while the group was holding Mitchell down, he moved Mitchell's clothing off his face, he said, according to the complaint. Mitchell's relatives and their lawyers had previously reviewed hotel surveillance video provided by the district attorney's office. They described seeing Mitchell being chased inside the hotel by security guards and then dragged outside, where he was beaten.
