AccordingtoABCWISN The Wisconsin Department of Justice on Wednesday identified the police officer who shot Jacob Blake seven times in the back on Sunday.
Investigators say officers were called to a home in the 2800 block of 40th Street after a female caller reported that her boyfriend was present and was not supposed to be on the premises.
During the incident, officers said they tried to arrest Blake, 29. Officers deployed a Taser to attempt to stop Blake, but it didn’t stop him, the investigators said.
Blake walked around his vehicle, opened the driver’s side door, and leaned forward. While holding onto Blake’s shirt, Officer Rusten Sheskey fired his service weapon seven times into Blake’s back, the DOJ said.
No other officer fired their weapon, the DOJ said.
