Milwaukee, WI– On February 24th, 2016 Christopher Davis was shot and killed by Walworth sheriff’s deputy Juan Ortiz. Since his death, the Walworth County Sherriff’s Office has failed to provide information to the family regarding the circumstances surrounding his death.
There has been a lack of transparency by the police department and the Wisconsin Department of Justice, which is currently investigating the case. Davis’ family is demanding information to be shared with them. The Coalition for Justice stands with the family of Davis in the search for information and for justice.
