MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN - The family of an armed black man who was shot dead by an off-duty police officer has said the shooting was “justified” — while approving police efforts to rush the release of video to “quell misinformation” and protests.
Elijah Wilks, 26, was fatally shot on Thursday, Oct. 9, after he caused a minor car accident with an unidentified Milwaukee police officer who was on his way to work, officials have said.
Newly released video shows Wilks walking up to the relaxed-looking, 40-year-old plainclothes officer — then pulling out a gun and smacking him in the face with it.
