Two Wauwatosa police officers shot and wounded a 17-year-old Tuesday in Milwaukee during a stolen vehicle investigation

Evan Casey, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Two Wauwatosa police officers shot and wounded a 17-year-old teenager, who they say was armed with a handgun, late Tuesday night after they noticed the teen was in a vehicle that was reported stolen through the city of Milwaukee.

However, Wauwatosa Police Chief James MacGillis said Wednesday that the vehicle the teen was in was recently recovered by a family member.

“The recovery of the vehicle however had not been reported to the police, so the vehicle was still listed as stolen at the time of this incident,” MacGillis said.

MacGillis said the two officers were on patrol near North 91st in the 9100 block of West Congress Street at 10:50 p.m.. That’s when they noticed the vehicle.

MacGillis said the vehicle pulled into an alleyway near North 92nd St. The officers “attempted to contact the driver of the vehicle,” who was a 17-year-old male.

MacGillis said the teenager, who was the sole occupant of the vehicle, was armed with a handgun and ran toward the officers after he did not comply with the officer’s commands.

Chicago retail theft suspect arrested after Neiman Marcus security’s gun-sniffing dog alerted to firearm
Derrick Latham, 24, was wearing electronic monitoring device for assaulting cop at time of alleged theft, police say

A Chicago man’s attempt to steal a designer belt from a Neiman Marcus in the city’s Magnificent Mile neighborhood was thwarted Monday after a store security guard’s dog sniffed a firearm on the suspect, authorities said.

Derrick Latham, 24, was observed on a store security camera stashing the Salvatore Ferragamo belt, worth $995, inside his jacket pocket and two belt buckles in his back jeans pocket after the guard’s canine alerted its handler to the gun Latham was carrying, according to a police arrest report.

Latham walked out of the store with the stolen merchandise and was confronted outside by store security, according to the report.

The guard recovered a loaded 9mm handgun from the suspect’s waistband, along with seven rounds of loose ammunition, 16 fake $100 bills and five white pills of suspected Xanax, police said. The stolen belt and buckles Latham allegedly stole were also recovered.

Latham was arrested and booked into the Cook County Jail on charges of felony retail theft, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon with a previous conviction and possession of a controlled substance.
