MILWAUKEE (CONVERSEER) – The family of a Milwaukee man who was shot and killed by an off-duty police officer has admitted the action was justified after seeing the dashcam recording.
Elijah Wilks was shot after he ran his car into the off-duty officer and pistol-whipped him when they pulled over.
Family and friends initially claimed that the police were lying about their account of events; however, bodycam footage proved the police account was completely accurate.

“No, they are not telling the truth. The story they posted is not the truth. Not the truth at all. Not the truth at all,” a family friend tried claiming.
