According to Sylville Smith’s sister, Sherelle Smith, the officer – who has not yet been named due to threats against him – reportedly went to the same high school as Smith, Fox 6 Now reports.

The man killed in a police shooting that sparked two nights of violence in Milwaukee suffered from cognitive and mental health issues, and he carried a gun because he had been shot a couple of times in the past.
A report that aired on CNN on Monday only included Smith condemning the violence. The video of the incident has not yet been released.
