At Rest

Deadly force
According to Milwaukee police, two officers were on routine patrol. They saw a other stopped on Sixth Street facing south and a man was in the road talking with a person in the car. Police said they thought it might be a drug transaction. When the car pulled away, the officers approached Robert M. Agnew. They asked him to stop, but he declined, pulled a handgun from his waistband and pointed it at the officers. He was shot and killed by Officer Jake Knight.
This record exists so that Robert M. Agnew, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
