Black Teen Tony Robinson Shot Dead by Cop in Madison, Wisconsin
A 19-year-old black man was shot dead Friday during a confrontation with a police officer in Madison, Wisconsin, according to police.
A family spokesman confirmed to NBC affiliate WMTV that the deceased was 19-year-old Tony Robinson, a graduate of Sun Prairie high school.
The shooting took place Friday evening, according to police, and sparked protests including a sit-in at Madison City Hall.
Madison Police Chief Mike Koval said an officer responded to reports of a man walking in traffic and hitting pedestrians, WMTV reported.
Koval said the officer followed the man to a residence, where he attacked the officer. During the confrontation the officer drew his weapon and shot the suspect.
The officer performed CPR on the suspect, who was taken to a hospital but later died. Koval said the Division of Criminal Investigation will lead a probe into the shooting.
More than 100 protesters gathered at the scene of the shooting, according to witnesses and reports, with video showing the crowd chanting: “Who can you trust? Not the police.”
“He was a loving and caring young man according to his grandmother,” family spokesman Michael Johnson said on Facebook.
Johnson said Robinson wanted a business degree and that he was about to attend the Milwaukee Area Technical College.
Police are expected to release more details about the incident Saturday morning.
