The shooting death of homeless man Samuel Sharpe Jr. near the Republican National Convention venue in Milwaukee on July 16 has sparked controversy and raised questions about police tactics and accountability.

New details from a bodycam video show Sharpe allegedly wielding knives and engaging in a fight before being fatally shot by five Columbus, Ohio police officers.

The Milwaukee Police Department will now have its own officers accompany out-of-state specialty police units following the incident, which occurred near King Park.

The presence of out-of-state officers near the convention security perimeter has prompted concerns, as Milwaukee officials had previously promised that they wouldn't interact with residents.

The Columbus unit involved in the shooting was not considered 'forward-facing,' and had been assigned to monitor demonstrations prior to the incident.

Milwaukee police will now embed officers with specialty units operating in the city to ensure better community interaction and address the issues raised by the tragic event.

The shooting, outside the convention's security perimeters, is under investigation by the Milwaukee Area Investigative Team, with the Greenfield Police Department leading the review.

The Columbus Police Union has confirmed their officers' involvement, and the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office will determine whether charges will be filed against them.

Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley has called for transparency and accountability in law enforcement actions, as residents mourn Sharpe's death and demand justice through vigils and marches organized in response to the shooting.
