Milwaukee police release video from fatal shootout with suspect near 35th and National
MPD MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- The Milwaukee Police Department (MPD) released body camera video Tuesday, from the fatal officer-involved shooting near 35th and National on April 13.
Officers fatally shot a homicide suspect, identified as 31-year-old Nicholas Maslowski, after MPD says he exchanged gunfire with them during a pursuit.
The police department released three videos, two from body-worn cameras and one from a dash camera.
Officers were pursuing the suspect in connection to a murder near 7th and Mitchell earlier that morning.
Police attempted to stop Maslowski, according to MPD, and he fled, prompting the chase that ended with a crash at 35th and National. The police department says at that time, he got out of the vehicle and fired shots at officers, who returned fire.
Maslowski was taken to an area hospital where he died of his injuries.
Eight officers involved in the shooting have been placed on administrative duty as is routine in officer-involved shootings. The Milwaukee Area Investigative Team is investigating, with the Wauwatosa Police Department the lead investigating agency.
