Mensah can be heard yelling, The gun is out, prior to firing.WAUWATOSA, Wis. - There will be no criminal charges filed against Wauwatosa Police Officer Joseph Mensah in the shooting death of Alvin Cole, 17, outside Mayfair Mall in February, Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm announced Wednesday, Oct.In this case, there is sufficient evidence that Officer Mensah had an actual subjective belief that deadly force was necessary, and that belief was objectively reasonable.I do not believe that the State could disprove self-defense or defense of others in this case, and therefore, could not meet the burden required to charge Officer Mensah.
We have a very strong policy of not charging anybody if we dont believe we can prove it, Chisholm told FOX6 News. In making his decision, Chisholm outlined the factors that must be present for police officers in Wisconsin to use deadly force: a weapon, a means of delivering lethal force and displayed intent by the armed individual. Mr. Cole went to Mayfair Mall armed with a 9mm, said Chisholm. While he was running from them, he discharged the firearm, and from that point on, he was ordered to surrender the firearm and never did so. According to Chisholm, police were called to Mayfair Mall Feb. That person, later identified as Cole, was seen leaving the mall and ran from police when they tried to arrest him. While running, an investigation by the Milwaukee Area Investigative Team led by Milwaukee police revealed Cole fired the gun and went to the ground. He was told by police officers to disarm and was eventually shot by Mensah. Advertisement Alvin Cole arrives at Mayfair Mall Feb. Surveillance video shows Cole entering the mall, along with others, shortly before 6 p.m. Feb. 2, seen carrying a sling bag that was later found to have a 9mm semi-automatic handgun and a loaded 30-round extended magazine, according to Chisholms report. A picture of Cole holding the gun was posted to Facebook the night before the shooting, according to the report. Cole was not allowed to carry a weapon because of his age and prior juvenile felony convictions. The gun that was recovered after the shooting was reported stolen in October 2019 from Milwaukee.

He just kept flashing it, but I know guns, you know what Im saying I had seen the slide and it had the green sightings, and then when he flashed it again, I had seen the extended clip. ![]() That guard said a shot came from Coles position and the medical examiner identified a wound to Coles left arm that was likely self-inflicted. After Cole likely shot himself, he went to the ground kneeling with the gun in his right hand, pointing it at two police officers. According to Chisholms report, both say he pointed the gun at them.
