555 Milwaukee police released on Thursday, Dec. 27 body-worn camera video of the officer-involved shooting of Jamie Alexander, 42. The incident happened in the neighborhood near 35th and Clarke shortly after noon on Monday, Nov. 12. Alexander was taken to the hospital with serious injuries. Neighbors and Jamie's sister, Jacqueline Alexander, back in November that moments before Jamie was shot, he was trying to protect a neighbor. "A young lady next door was being abused by a boyfriend/spouse. She ran over to my brother's house to use the phone. When the young lady came through the door - the guy came through the door behind her. My brother grabbed his gun. He's already in the house. He grabs his gun. The guy runs out the door and flags down police saying 'the guy is trying to kill me' - speaking of my brother. As my brother sees the police, he throws the gun. As he went to run off the porch, the police just started shooting. He was running away," said Jacqueline Alexander. Alexander said her brother does have a criminal history, so he was scared to be caught with the weapon, but she believes he was not a threat. Milwaukee police previously indicated the officer involved in this shooting is a 38-year-old with 13 years of service - assigned to MPD's District 3. Officials also noted that on Nov. 16, the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office criminally charged Alexander with one count of possession of a firearm by a felon and one count of obstructing an officer.
