Milwaukee Police Gun Down Latino Man - Shot 8 Times in the Back

Wilbert Javier Prado Unarmed
A man killed by an off-duty Milwaukee police officer three weeks ago was shot eight times and died of a gunshot to the back, according to the Milwaukee medical examiner's report. The report added that 25-year-old Wilbert Javier Prado was unarmed when he was gunned down. About 10 bullet holes were found on the driver's side of the van Prado was driving. Milwaukee police said the shooting was sparked when off-duty officer Alfonzo Glover pulled over after noticing a van was following him. When Glover got out of his car, the van hit him, setting off a chase on foot and the shooting. The autopsy lists the immediate cause of death as injuries to the heart and lung because of a gunshot wound to the back. In all, Prado sustained multiple gunshot wounds to the back, chest, lower extremities and groin, the report says. The report also states that there was "no weapon recovered on or near the body of the deceased. "Prado's family said he was an illegal immigrant who had been in Milwaukee for about six years and had two young children born in the United States. The family of Prado has asked for an inquest, and District Attorney E. Michael McCann has said he will call one, but no date has been set. [more] and [more]
