Bodycam footage shows a Milwaukee police shootout with a man who fled from officers

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.

After a nail-biting ninth inning on Friday night that saw the Cincinnati Reds (34-35) hang on to victory, they will attempt to get back to a .500 record this afternoon against the Milwaukee Brewers (40-29). Andrew Abbott gets the start for Cincinnati, while the Brewers counter with left-handed opener Jared Koenig followed by right-handed starter/long reliever Bryse Wilson.

Starting Pitchers

Andrew Abbott

Coming off another great start last Saturday when he pitched five innings of one-run baseball against the Cubs, left-hander Andrew Abbott looks to continue his solid 2024 season against another NL Central rival. Abbott just needs to get past the first inning, where most of the damage has been done against him. In 13.0 innings, he’s allowed 10 earned runs on 11 hits, including three home runs. After the first inning, he settles down, with an ERA under 3.00 from the second to the sixth inning.

The Reds have started to watch his innings a little closer earlier this season after fatigue hit him in September last season. Abbott pitched 109.1 innings in 2023, the second most of his professional career, and is at 74.0 innings thus far in 2024. They gave him an extra day of rest between starts at the end of May. With two days off this week, he’s had a full week between his last start and today.

Jared Koenig / Bryse Wilson

Left-hander Jared Koenig will get the start for the Brewers as the opener. Koenig has opened for Wilson before, with the most recent coming against the Tigers last Sunday. He pitched 1.2 innings of scoreless baseball with two strikeouts. Koenig throws mainly three pitches: a sinker, cutter, and curveball. His curveball is his best pitch, with a 45% whiff rate.

Right-hander Bryse Wilson is the Brewers’ version of Nick Martinez. He’s started eight of 16 games he’s appeared in this season and has also pitched multiple innings in relief. Left-handed hitters are batting over .300 with a .997 OPS against him. This is the reason the Brewers will start the left-hander Koenig, as David Bell has stacked his lineup with lefties to face Wilson. However, the Reds haven’t hit Wilson all that well, with a .656 team OPS against him in 12 games. He pitched four innings against Cincinnati in April, allowing one run on three hits with three strikeouts and no walks.
