Suspect in Shorewood Officer Shooting Fatally Shot by Milwaukee and Glendale Police Following Pursuit
SHOREWOOD, WI — A Shorewood police officer was shot early Thursday morning while responding to reports of a shooting near Bartlett and Kenmore Avenues.
According to Shorewood Police Chief Heather Wurth, the incident occurred just before 3:00 a.m. on July 3, during what authorities now believe was a targeted act of violence.
As officers were en route to the scene, one of the squad vehicles came under fire from an unknown assailant.
At least two rounds struck the windshield, and another hit the passenger side of the squad car.
One officer was struck, but the bullet was stopped by his protective vest.
He was transported to the hospital as a precaution and has since been released. Chief Wurth confirmed the officer is in “good spirits.”
The status of two other individuals injured in the initial shooting has not been publicly released, though the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office has confirmed it responded to the scene.
As the investigation unfolded, residents near Newhall and Wood were urged to shelter in place due to what was described as an “ongoing tactical situation.” A heavy police presence was reported in both Shorewood and surrounding areas, including Milwaukee and Glendale.
Law enforcement sources now indicate that a high-speed pursuit involving the suspect unfolded later in the morning.
The suspect allegedly fired shots at officers during the chase, including at 4th Street and Reservoir Avenue.
The chase ultimately ended near Port Washington and Hampton Avenues in Glendale, where officers from the Milwaukee and Glendale Police Departments returned fire.
Preliminary, unconfirmed reports indicate that the suspect was shot and killed while still inside the vehicle. Official confirmation is pending.
During a press conference, Chief Wurth stated the attack did not appear to be random and called for an end to the rising violence in the region:
“Our officers are doing an incredibly difficult job, under difficult circumstances, and facing inherent risks. We need the support of the public now more than ever,” she said.
She further urged community members to report illegal firearms and active threats, emphasizing that many individuals in the community are aware of unlawful behavior and must come forward to prevent tragedies.
“We know people have guns illegally, and we need the community’s help to end this tragic, tragic violence,” she added.
The shooting incident remains under active investigation by local and regional law enforcement.
The names of the suspect and other victims have not yet been released. Shorewood Police, Milwaukee Police, Glendale Police, and additional tactical units continue to coordinate efforts.
Residents are urged to avoid the area and report any relevant information to authorities. Further updates are expected as the investigation progresses.
City of Hammond, Louisiana — At approximately 11:50 p.m. on February 24, 2026, officers with the Hammond Police Department responded to a report of shots fired involving one possible victim.
Upon arrival, officers located a 14-year-old juvenile female, identified as Tyronai Reed, suffering from an apparent gunshot wound.
Emergency medical assistance was rendered at the scene, and she was transported to North Oaks Health System for treatment.
Despite life-saving efforts, Reed later succumbed to her injuries.
Detectives assigned to the department’s Criminal Investigations Division launched an immediate homicide investigation.
During the course of their investigation, authorities identified 18-year-old Demontez Treyvon “Trey” Robinson of Hammond as a suspect in the shooting.
While actively working the case, officers observed a vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed and conducted a traffic stop.
Robinson was identified as the driver of the vehicle and was taken into custody without incident.
Robinson was transported to the Criminal Investigations Division for questioning. According to investigators, Robinson admitted that the firearm discharged while he was handling or “playing with” it, resulting in the single round striking the 14-year-old victim.
Robinson was subsequently booked into the Hammond City Jail on one count of Negligent Homicide.
Authorities emphasize that the investigation remains in its early stages and additional details may be released as they become available.
