A man who Milwaukee police shot after a short foot chase on the city’s north side pleaded not guilty to attempted homicide charges.
Marquis Little was arraigned in Milwaukee County Circuit Court on Wednesday, roughly three months after he was shot by officers who were responding to a shots-fired call. Police released bodycam video of the incident on May 9.
Little, 20, of Milwaukee, appeared in court with his attorney Andrew Sargent to enter his plea, but he already may be positioning himself to change his mind. A plea hearing in the case has been scheduled in six weeks, online court records show.

Three officers have been placed on administrative duty as the Wauwatosa Police Department leads an investigation into the shooting. Police recovered a gun at the scene.
Here’s what happened:
In a criminal complaint, police say they got several calls about shots fired on March 24 around 11:15 p.m. The shots appeared to have been fired near North 64th Street and Sheridan Avenue.
Officers arrived and found a man armed with a handgun, who they say ran and ignored their commands for him to stop.
The body camera footage of the pursuit opens with images from inside an apartment building of a man running down a set of stairs, trying to get away from police. It then switches to a scene outside. Officers are heard giving out a description of the suspect over the radio — that of a male wearing an orange hoodie and a black backpack.
Police chased the man for about two blocks.
The footage appears to show the man failing to comply with repeated orders to stop. At times, one officer could be heard warning the man he would be tased or shot if he didn’t stop.
“Stop! Stop! … You’re gonna get shot,” an officer yells out. But the suspect continues to run.

The video shows the man stop in a clearing next to a building, at which time, the buzz of a taser is heard. The officer, with his handgun drawn, orders the man to drop his weapon.
Police said the man fired two shots at the officers, who returned fire, hitting him. About a dozen shots are heard in the video, though it was not immediately clear how many shots each officer fired.
The man is seen running again, but he collapses a few yards away.
Officers can be seen on the recording giving the man medical attention until emergency medical technicians arrived.
What are the charges?
Little faces a charge of attempted first-degree intentional homicide and two counts of first-degree recklessly endangering safety.
What is next for Marquis Little?
His next court appearance will be the plea hearing, which is scheduled for July 2.
Circuit Court Judge Laura Crivello set Little’s bond in April at $150,000. He remained in the Milwaukee County Jail on Wednesday, online court records show.
MILWAUKEE – An issue at the Valley Power Plant caused a temporary steam outage for downtown Milwaukee buildings on Saturday, Dec. 13.
Steam service interrupted
What we know:
According to We Energies, the gas supply to the Valley Power Plant was interrupted on Saturday morning, causing it to go offline. The plant produces steam for downtown buildings for heating.
We Energies says it has restored service to the steam system and is bringing steam back to customers, but the restoration process requires steam pressure to build back up in the steam system. Once pressure reaches safe levels, steam service can be delivered to customers.

Customers should begin to see service return over the next few hours, and some are already restored.
We Energies says it does not anticipate any more steam outages, and that this issue is not affecting electric or natural gas service.
Show canceled

The Marcus Performing Arts Center says its building has been impacted by the steam outage and, as a result, had to cancel its 1 p.m. matinée performance of The Pigeon Gets A Big Time Holiday Extravaganza!
Ticket holders will be contacted directly to get further information about next steps.

With goalie Matt Murray pulled, the Admirals dumped the puck into the IceHogs zone from the red line. Brossoit tracked it down behind his goal and sailed a shot into the empty Milwaukee cage at 18:56 of the final frame.
The teams waited until the second period to start scoring goals. IceHogs forward Nick Lardis started the scoring with a shorthanded goal at 1:18 of the second frame. He sent a wrist shot from the slot into the net just as Milwaukee had two players leave the penalty box.
Just 0:33 later, Rockford’s Brett Seney exited the penalty box and grabbed a loose puck at the Admirals blue line. He moved to the right circle and sent a shot over the glove of Admirals goalie Matt Murray at 1:51.
Milwaukee got on the board with a power-play goal at 4:56 of the second frame. Oasiz Wiesblatt skated with the puck from the left point to the right circle and slid a pass to the crease. Daniel Carr redirected the puck past IceHogs goalie Brossoit for his team-leading tenth goal of the season, and seventh on the power play. Wiesblatt and Joakim Kemell assisted.
Rockford scored two more before the close of the second period. Martin Misiak scored his first pro goal at 15:39 and Jamie Engelbert added a 4-on-4 goal at 18:45 to give the IceHogs a 4-1 lead after two frames.

Milwaukee parents sue MPS saying staff member locked students in ‘dungeon’ as punishment
Children at Thurston Woods School in Milwaukee were locked in a boiler room as a punishment, a group of parents say in a recently filed lawsuit.
The lawsuit was filed Dec. 8 in the Milwaukee County Circuit Court’s civil division by three sets of parents. The Milwaukee Board of School Directors is among the defendants.
The parents claim in court papers several employees at the K4-8 elementary school on North 35th Street sent kids to the boiler room if they misbehaved.
Some of those staff members, as well as students, referred to the boiler room as “The Dungeon,” according to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit claims a former male paraprofessional at the school locked three students in a boiler room multiple times during the 2022-’23 and 2023-’24 school years.
In the lawsuit, the parents said the “dungeon” presented a serious hazard to the children because of the potential exposure to “chemicals, cleaning agents, boilers, and other machinery.”
The paraprofessional resigned in November 2023 after he was investigated for violating several school district policies. At the time, he told district officials he placed the students in the room as a scare tactic, the lawsuit states.
Among the defendants is former assistant principal Dennis Daniels.
He pleaded guilty in January to a misdemeanor charge of attempted misconduct in public office after failing to alert police that an 11-year-old student brought a gun to school in February 2024.
He initially was charged with a felony, but brokered a deal with prosecutors to instead plead to an amended lesser charge.
“Milwaukee Public Schools is committed to maintaining safe and welcoming learning environments for all students and staff,” Stephen Davis, an MPS spokesman, said in a statement to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “While we cannot comment on ongoing litigation, the district thoroughly investigated this matter in 2023 and took appropriate disciplinary action which included termination of employment.”
In a statement, Milwaukee attorney Drew DeVinney, who represents the parents, described the alleged behavior of school staff as “disbursing and egregious,” and that it appeared no one intervened to stop it.
He urged other families to come forward if they also were impacted.
“Concerningly, MPS did not report any of these instances of seclusion and restraint to the Department of Public Instruction, in violation of Wisconsin law.
“We hope that this lawsuit will serve as a vehicle to prevent further incidents and abuse, and to obtain justice for our clients.”
