MILWAUKEE — A man was fatally shot Tuesday by Columbus, Ohio, police assigned to help with security at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, officials said. The afternoon shooting happened near King Park, according to information provided by the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner. The agency responded to a death report at an intersection on the edge of the park, it said in a statement. Officials did not provide the identity and age of the man killed.
'We’re not even two days in to the RNC and we already have a casualty,' said Alan Chavoya, a member of the group Milwaukee Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression. He continued, 'How is that possible?' The area is also the location of a homeless encampment, the activists said during the news conference. Two witnesses told reporters that the victim is a homeless man who was trying to get away from police when he was struck by gunfire.
