Wisconsin officials identify Kenosha officer who shot Jacob Blake, said Blake’s car had knife, no gun

Officers arrived at Blake’s address responding to a call from a woman who said her boyfriend wasn’t supposed to be there, the state DOJ said. Officers tried to arrest Blake on a domestic warrant uncovered en route to the scene, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. One officer tased Blake, and when he continued trying to leave the scene, three officers followed him at close range. Sheskey grabbed and shot Blake after he “leaned forward” into the driver’s side door, the Wisconsin DOJ said. State officers found a knife on the floorboard, but no other weapons in the car, and it is unclear if the Kenosha police officers knew about the knife. Blake was shot less than three minutes after police arrived.
