Man sentenced to 11 years in prison after 2 shooting incidents, 1 involving police

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A Milwaukee man was sentenced to 11 years in prison after two shooting incidents, including one officer involved shooting that happened in December.

22-year-old Kenneth Demarco Brown and 20-year-old Kenneth Dejuan Rogers had multiple charges in the incidents. Brown faced eight charges, including first-degree reckless endangerment using a dangerous weapon. Rodger faced five charges, including possession of a firearm by an adjudicated delinquent.

Authorities reported that on Wednesday, Dec. 6, officers responded to a shooting near 29th and Clybourn. The victim was found with a gunshot wound to the upper left thigh. Investigations reportedly revealed multiple bullet casings and fragments at the scene, and the victim's vehicle showed signs of gunfire. Surveillance video indicated that the suspects were in a black Honda.

According to the criminal complaint from the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office, on Dec. 7, a police pursuit involving the same Honda CRV began at N. 91st and W. Silver Spring. The chase, spanning over three miles, reportedly ended with the vehicle crashing near N. 51st Blvd. and the suspects fleeing on foot.

The pursuit was captured on police body cameras and reportedly involved high speeds, wrong way driving, and evasion of stop sticks.

The complaint reports that shots were then fired, leading to critical injuries to Rogers and minor injuries to Brown.

During the arrest, officers reportedly found a .45 caliber Glock pistol near where Rogers was arrested, and narcotics in the allegedly stolen Honda CRV.

The complaint states that the drugs tested positive for cocaine and fentanyl, consistent with distribution quantities.

Court documents show that Rodgers' sentencing is scheduled for Sept. 11.
