Tremaine Jones trial: Witness testimony continues on day 3

CBS 58

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- We're seeing new video from the night two Milwaukee police officers were ambushed last June. Wednesday marks the third day of the alleged shooter's trial.

Wednesday morning, the witnesses the state presented were neighbors from the area of 25th and Garfield. That's where officers Kendall Corder and Christopher McCray were shot, allegedly by 23-year-old Tremaine Jones. Two women called 911 the night of the shooting, showing us videos they took on their phone and Ring camera.

Video from the Ring doorbell camera the night of June 26, 2025, shows a group standing outside an apartment complex at 25th and Garfield, and someone who the state has claimed is Tremaine Jones, waving a firearm, asking for someone inside to come out because of a fight over a girl.

In the videos, you see a man with and without a backpack -similar to the one we saw presented Tuesday as evidence which had Jones' personal information inside of it. The man is also described by the witnesses as carrying "a large gun," which they agreed looked like the one the state showed them.

The women who called 911 say they had heard several gunshots being fired, fearing for their lives.

"Were you scared?" 

"Yes," the woman said. "Bullets don't have any names on it."

In cross-examination, the defense asked the woman if she saw the shooting involving police officers. She said no, and that she'd called 911 three times before police showed up and saw the group scatter, reinforcing the defense's position that Jones may have left before the officers were shot.

We expect the state to call several more witnesses, including forensic experts.
