‘I want that officer arrested’: Milwaukee mom speaks after police shoot and kill her son

CBS 58

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- D’Lynn Brown tells CBS 58 that her son, 22-year-old Jaylyn Brown, was the man shot and killed by police after a standoff near 84th and Mill on Friday June 12.

"We see on the news all the time, and you just never think it’s gonna be you, you never think it’s gonna be your child,” Brown said.

Brown was at the scene talking with police during the shooting.

“They said my son just came out in a stretcher, the ambulance is pulling off, no lights on, I'm not even paying attention that my son was obviously dead before he left the scene because they didn't have the ambulance lights on,” Brown said.

Brown says she was shown body camera video of the standoff and shooting.

She says the first clip shows Jaylyn outside, moving from one building into another apartment building.

“My son started walking from one building to the next and they allowed him to walk in, so I don’t believe that the first set of officers outside was trying to kill my son,” Brown said.

Brown says the next clips show negotiations between her son and officers along with gunshots, and her son yelling in pain.

“The taser comes out, they’re too far for the taser to even reach my son so next thing you know you can see a rifle where the shotgun comes out, boom, boom, boom, boom,” Brown said.

Brown tells us the next clip shows two officers upstairs, with one opening a door to find her son on the ground.

“The first officer opened the door, and as soon as he opened the door you can clearly see he steps away from my son and my son is lying flat in the hallway,” Brown said. “He paused again and then he center massed my son.”

Brown believes based on the video she was shown, the officer was not in danger, and her son told him that he could not move when he was told to drop a gun.

“The first officer that opened the door after he center massed my son, he said, he’s out, that is disgusting, whether it’s my son or your son, whether that little boy looks like me or that little boy is white, that was disgusting, that is somebody's life,” Brown said.

MPD says the incident is still under investigation and has not released the body camera video to the public.

“He doesn’t need to be an officer, he’s a rogue cop, they’re here to protect and serve, the first set of officers did what they were supposed to do,” Brown said.

Brown says she is already pushing for the officer who shot her son to face consequences.

“I want that officer arrested,” Brown said. “They picked the wrong child because his mother is going to fight to the end, I will not stop.”
