On July 16, 2015, 29-year-old Antonio Gonzales was shot and killed by Wauwatosa police after a disturbance at a residence on Glencoe Circle in a Milwaukee suburb. Officers Joseph Mensah and Jeffrey Newman responded to a call about an intoxicated, violent tenant who was reportedly trying to use a spearhead to cut the person who had called 911. Gonzales emerged holding a large sword and, according to the investigation, advanced toward officers with the weapon raised despite repeated commands to drop it.

Both officers fired as Gonzales closed to within a few feet; Mensah discharged eight rounds and Newman fired once. Gonzales was struck multiple times and later died of his gunshot wounds; his blood alcohol content was 0.255. His roommate told investigators Gonzales collected bladed weapons and had a history of mental health issues. The Milwaukee County District Attorney declined to file criminal charges, finding the officers acted in self-defense. Civil claims by Gonzales family members were later dismissed by a federal judge.

Did anyone in the area witness the confrontation or have information about Gonzales in the days leading up to July 16, 2015?
