One dead after shootout with police near 6th and Reservoir Avenue

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Law enforcement agencies confirm a chase and shootout that ended near Reservoir and Finlayson in Milwaukee Thursday, July 3, was connected to a fatal early morning shooting in Shorewood.

The Shorewood shooting suspect was known to police.

Shortly after 9 am police spotted a black sedan that was connected to that person. A chase ensued and continued through Milwaukee.

"Around 9:30 we heard a series of bullets, vehicles banging just a lot of noises I've never heard before," said Nicole Groce, witness.

Facebook live video shows two bearcats surrounding this black Mercedes, sprayed with bullet holes.

Residents on Reservoir Street were on lockdown for nearly 8 hours before police cleared the scene.

Witnesses Nicole and Terri live across the street from the scene they say they saw the suspect and officers firing at each other.

"It was a very scary thing. It was a traumatic thing and nothing that I thought I would have to encounter on a day off," said Terri Howard, witness

When Nicole and Terri were unable to leave their house we got on zoom as they recall what happened Thursday morning.

"The scene was pretty gruesome difficult to even recall details at this point the officers gave him time if the individual could have to come out of the vehicle to get medical attention but I think they saw he wasn't being responsive so they pulled him out of the car and that was again gruesome details that unfortunately we had to witness," said Howard.

Howard says it looked like police pulled a young man from the car.
