Report on shooting of unarmed 19-year-old in Madison due to prosecutor in 2 weeks

MADISON, Wis. – Wisconsin’s attorney general says a report on the shooting of an unarmed 19-year-old man by a Madison police officer should be sent to a prosecutor in about two weeks.

Attorney General Brad Schimel is updating the investigation into the death of Tony Robinson. Robinson, a biracial man, was shot and killed by a white officer Friday night after police said Robinson assaulted the officer.

Schimel is encouraging the public to be patient before judging what happened. He says he appreciates that Robinson’s family has urged that protests be peaceful.

David Matthews, head of the state agency leading the investigation, said agents have done at least 60 interviews and filed more than 100 reports. He said they’re looking at everything Robinson, Officer Matt Kenny and witnesses were doing that day.
