Sherman Solomon, known as Sher Solomon, was 40 when he was shot and killed near 33rd and Galena in Milwaukee on September 13, 2022. A ShotSpotter alert prompted the Tactical Enforcement Unit to respond; officers arriving at the scene came under gunfire and their squad car was struck. Solomon was shot during the exchange, taken to a hospital, and later died. Two people who had been with Solomon fled the scene.

Investigators recovered a handgun at the location fitted with a high-capacity drum magazine. The three officers involved were placed on administrative duty, and the Wauwatosa Police Department together with the Wisconsin Department of Justice’s Division of Criminal Investigation led the inquiry. The Milwaukee Police Department later released bodycam footage of the incident.
