MILWAUKEE —Milwaukee police have identified the 15-year-old boy killed while trying to hold up a bar employee in the Walkers Point neighborhood at Camron Powell.
According to the medical examiner's report released Wednesday night, Powell was shot once in the chest.
The report said Powell and a group of friends tried to rob a security guard early Monday morning near Second Street and National Avenue when the security guard pulled out a gun and shot Powell.
Police said Powell and the others were wanted in as many as 35 recent robberies.
The district attorney will decide if the shooting was in self defense or if charges will be filed.
Police in Milwaukee say the person shot during a robbery attempt Monday was a teen with a long arrest record.
Police said a group of people attempted to rob another group of people near South Second Street and National Avenue early Monday morning. Investigators said one of the would-be victims produced a gun and shot one of the would-be robbers.
Lt. Mark Stanmeyer said the shooting victim was a 15-year-old boy that he called "a known gang member" who had a lengthy arrest record including armed robbery and auto theft.
Stanmeyer said the shooting victim [ed. note: victim?] had also been shot in an incident on Aug. 1.
Police said the 30-year-old West Allis man who shot the teen was taken into police custody and released. He has been ordered to report to the District Attorney's Office at a future date.
Stanmeyer said five people were arrested and are believed to have been part of dozens of Milwaukee-area robberies over the past three days. Stanmeyer said the ages of those arrested range from 14-18 years.
Milwaukee police officials said the investigation will be forwarded to the District Attorney's Office in the coming days.
