Mother: Milwaukee shooting victim was 23-year-old black man
MILWAUKEE (AP) — The man whose shooting by Milwaukee police triggered hours of violent protests on the city's predominantly black north side was a 23-year-old black man and father to a toddler, his mother said Sunday.
A Milwaukee police spokesman did not immediately respond to messages from an Associated Press reporter seeking confirmation of the man's identity.
At least four businesses were burned down in the protests that stretched into Sunday morning, leading Gov. Scott Walker to activate National Guard troops in case violence persists.
