Milwaukee Police Shoot Suspect Armed With AR-Style Pistol

* (Disclaimer: The content in this video is intended for educational and informational purposes only) Milwaukee, Wisconsin — On Tuesday, June 16, 2026, at approximately 9:07 p.m., Milwaukee Police Officers were dispatched after numerous 911 callers reported an armed man at a second-floor apartment near North 64th Street and West Sheridan Avenue. Investigators say the suspect, later identified as 20-year-old Deontae Ransom, had gone to confront his ex-girlfriend after accusing her of being with another man. According to court records, he allegedly pounded on her apartment door, threatened her with a firearm, and demanded to be let inside while another man accompanied him. Fearing for their safety, residents alerted police, prompting a rapid response to what officers believed was an active shooter situation. As officers searched the building, they heard loud noises they believed were gunfire and moved into the stairwell to locate the suspect. Body-camera footage shows the officers climbing the stairs before suddenly encountering Ransom, who allegedly had a modified handgun concealed inside his clothing with one hand remaining in his pocket. Believing he posed an immediate threat, two officers opened fire, striking him in the arm. Ransom retreated to the upper level of the stairwell, where surveillance video shows him removing his jacket and placing his weapon on the floor before officers cautiously advanced. After roughly a minute and a half, he came back downstairs with his hands raised and surrendered without further violence. Officers took him into custody and transported him to a hospital for treatment. The investigation also led to the arrest of the second suspect, 19-year-old Damarion Williams-Beal, who prosecutors say accompanied Ransom to the apartment building and helped conceal the firearm before it was used during the confrontation. Court documents allege the incident followed several days of escalating threats toward Ransom's ex-girlfriend, including an earlier report in which he was accused of pointing a firearm at her and threatening to shoot her. Ransom now faces four felonies in this case, including stalking, burglary while armed with a dangerous weapon, and possessing a firearm as a convicted felon, all with modifiers for habitual criminality or domestic abuse. He also faces two misdemeanors for intentionally pointing a firearm at a person and disorderly conduct, both with the same modifiers. Williams-Beal faces 2 felony charges, including burglary while armed with dangerous weapon as party to a crime, and possessing a firearm as an adjudicated delinquent of a felony. Deontae Ransom's cash bond was set at $85,000, while Damarion Williams-Beal's cash bond was set at $5,000. If convicted on all charges, prosecutors say Ransom faces up to 65 years in prison, while Williams-Beal could face up to 25 years in prison. Both officers involved in the shooting were placed on administrative duty, which is standard procedure while the officer-involved shooting remains under investigation. 🚨𝑇ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑙 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑣𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑠 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑥𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑙 𝑑𝑜𝑐𝑢𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑎𝑛𝑎𝑙𝑦𝑠𝑖𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙 𝑝𝑜𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠 𝑢𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑢𝑏𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑙𝑦 𝑎𝑣𝑎𝑖𝑙𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑠. ⚠️𝑉𝑖𝑒𝑤𝑒𝑟 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑖𝑠 𝑎𝑑𝑣𝑖𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑑𝑢𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑢𝑠 𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑡.⚠️ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Special thanks to Shout-Out Supporters on Patreon: - 'DIY Solar Power with Will Prowse' - 'Rate A Creator with Omar Alkahlout' - KHALID - Michael Griffin - John Doe - 'Twitchypowpow' - Lillian Daley - Tyrell Robertson - christine Grinter - 'The Evil Queen' - Benjamin Osgood - Gary Wilson - LJ - Brianna Wilkins - Elisabeth Craig - Bobby Roach - Sarin Dipity - Cody Stephens - Troy Polansky - Tulla Belle - 'quadrakyiro' - "John B.
