Rogers was one of two men charged in the case – which was also tied to a pursuit and separate shooting. Kenneth Brown, 22, was sentenced in August to 11 years in prison.
As part of a plea deal of his own, Brown was convicted of recklessly endangering safety, among other crimes. In addition to prison time, he was sentenced to seven years of extended supervision.
51st and Hampton, Milwaukee
Police chase
Police said the pursuit stemmed from an investigation into a Dec. 6 shooting, which happened near 29th and St. Paul and wounded a 20-year-old. When officers tried to stop a Honda SUV wanted in connection to the shooting, police said the driver took off.
Stop sticks were used at 68th and Hampton, according to police, and the chase continued for roughly a mile until the SUV crashed. Police said Brown was the driver and Rogers was the passenger who then ran off.

The Honda CRV had New Mexico plates and was reported stolen Dec. 3. The SUV’s owner told police that the vehicle was parked in front of a home near Cambridge and Hartford on the city’s east side when it was taken.
Police shooting
According to a criminal complaint filed against both men, police squad camera footage showed Rogers running from the scene carrying a black handgun in his right hand as he ran across the street. Officers chased after both men, ordering them multiple times to drop the gun, the complaint states.
Prosecutors said Brown and Rogers stopped running as the officers continued commanding to drop the gun. Police said two officers fired their weapons, striking both men. After the shooting, MPD Chief Jeffrey Norman said it was not clear whether a gun was ever pointed at the officers.
Brown and Rogers were taken into custody and to a hospital. Rogers was critically injured, police said, and Brown was expected to be OK. No other injuries were reported.
Prosecutors said a .45 caliber Glock semi-automatic pistol equipped with a laser sight was found on the ground where Rogers was arrested. Court filings state the gun is likely a ballistics match for the gun used in the shooting near 29th and St. Paul. Police said drugs – cocaine and fentanyl – were also found in the SUV.

MILWAUKEE – Ryan Ufko continued his hot offensive streak, scoring a goal and adding an assist, as the Admirals earned a point in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Cleveland Monsters on Friday night.
By the numbers:
Ufko has scored a goal in four straight games and has 11 points in his past five contests, which includes four multipoint games. Jake Lucchini also chipped in a goal, his first of the season, and an assist in the contest, while Matt Murray made 36 saves in net for Milwaukee.

The Admirals were down 2-0 12:12 into the game after Cleveland’s Luca Del Bel Belluz scored twice in a 4:17 span, but the Ads battled back with two of their own to knot the score at 2-2.
Lucchini got the Ads on the board when his initial shot from the right dot sailed wide and up the board where Ufko held the line. He passed back to Lucchini, who had moved into the slot, and ripped a shot past Cleveland goalie Ivan Fedetov.
Ufko found the back of the net 23 seconds into the second period as his shot from the right face-off dot sailed over Fedetov’s shoulder as an Admirals power-play was winding down.
David Edstrom gave the Admirals their first lead of the night 1:23 later as he picked up a shorthanded tally by collecting the rebound of a Reid Schaefer shot and depositing it into a wide open net for his second of the season.
