Probable Cause:
Complainant is a detective with the Milwaukee Police Department and bases this complaint on the
official reports and statements of fellow members of the Milwaukee Police Department, and on reports
from the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office. Based on that information, as well as
Complainant’s own investigation, Complainant states as follows:

On July 27, 2024, at approximately 6:20pm, RSG was robbed of her wallet and cell phone at
approximately 711 W. St. Paul Avenue in the city of Milwaukee, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. RSG
told detectives that she was parked on St. Paul Avenue. RSG indicated she and her family had gone to
German Fest and were returning to their car, loading up the vehicle, when two subjects approached
them. She described one subject was a teenage black male with a slim build, black mask, all black
clothing and orange gloves. RSG stated that the second subject was a teenage black male with a slim
build, an afro, wearing a white tank top and orange gloves. RSG explained this second subject walked
towards her family then reached back for a gun from the masked subject. This subject with the gun
pointed the gun at her family and demanded money. The subject with the gun then took RSG’s phone
and went through their car for property. When the subjects did not find anything they wanted to take
within the car, they demanded money from “CashApp.” RSG explained it would take too long and then
the two subjects walked off. RSG’s phone was taken during the incident. RSG further explained that
she was later able to track her phone and learned it was in Chicago the following day. RSG indicated
she made contact with an individual who found her phone after the robbery and recovered it. This
person mailed RSG’s phone back to her.

Police Officer Fidah Mustafa and Police Officer Parker Popp conducted follow up to attempt to find
video of the two suspects who robbed RSG. They viewed surveillance video from the Intermodal
Station parking lot at 701 W. St. Paul Avenue. In that video, the two suspects are visible. They arrive on
scene around 6:05pm in a silver Hyundai sedan, and circle the parking lot. The driver can be
observed—he is the black male described by RSG wearing the white tank top with bright orange
gloves.

Around 6:34pm, Milwaukee Police Sergeant Marlin Schilcher responded to assist in the investigation
into the robbery of RSG. Sgt. Schilcher received information that the silver Hyundai involved in the
incident fled the scene southbound. Sgt. Schilcher was operating a marked Milwaukee Police
Department squad car. While in the area of S. 3rd Street and W. Virginia Street, Sgt. Schilcher was
flagged down by a citizen who stated that subjects were breaking into vehicles on 3rd Street. Sgt.
Schilcher then observed the silver Hyundai parked in the middle of 3rd Street, near W. Bruce Street.
Sgt. Schilcher drove past the Hyundai and observed a black male subject, 16-20 years old, breaking
into a parked vehicle. Sgt. Schilcher then parked his squad car and activated his lights and sirens in an
attempt to stop the subject breaking into the car, who then ran and got into the silver Hyundai. Sgt.
Schilcher also exited his squad and gave verbal commands for those subjects to stop. Sgt. Schilcher
then saw there were two subjects in the Hyundai. The Hyundai reversed northbound, and then fled the
area, increasing its speed in an attempt to flee and driving southbound on the sidewalk of S. 3rd Street
passing Sgt. Schilcher, continuing southbound as Sgt. Schilcher ran back to his squad car. Sgt.
Schilcher got into his squad and then began pursuing the Hyundai southbound on 3rd Street, but lost
sight of the vehicle. Sgt. Schilcher then saturated the area and observed civilians flagging him down to
alert him to a crash that occurred near S. Barclay Street and E. Walker Street. Sgt. Schilcher
approached that scene and observed the silver Hyundai crashed in that location. There was a crowd of
people in the street. Sgt. Schilcher approached the crowd and observed they were doing CPR on a
white male subject. This subject was later identified as Marc J Jones. Sgt. Schilcher advised dispatch to
send for medical assistance and requested additional squads come to the scene. As described below,
 Case 2024CF003715 Document 2 Filed 08-05-2024 Page 4 of 6

the investigation revealed that Jones was riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle southbound on S. 1st
Street, and was struck by the silver Hyundai that fled from Sgt. Schilcher.

Jones was ultimately transported from the scene to Froedtert Hospital by the Milwaukee Fire
Department, but succumbed to his injuries sustained in the crash. He was pronounced deceased at
7:16pm.

An autopsy was conducted by Dr. Brian Linert, a licensed pathologist employed by the Milwaukee
County Medical Examiner’s Office. Dr. Linert’s preliminary conclusion was that multiple blunt force
injuries sustained in the crash caused Jones’ death.

Officer Kevin Kamps conducted the scene investigation where the crash occurred, at 100 W. Walker
Street in the city and county of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. During the scene investigation, Officer Kamps
observed surveillance footage that depicted the crash from 100 W. Walker Street. That video shows the
following: at approximately 6:40:13pm, the silver Hyundai can be seen traveling eastbound on Walker
Street at an extremely high rate of speed, which Complainant states is well in excess of the speed limit.
As the Hyundai approaches the stop sign at 1st and Walker, there is absolutely no attempt to slow down
or use any caution while approaching the intersection with S. 1st Street. Complainant further knows that
S. 1st Street is a main thoroughfare road with typically heavier traffic, and the road is divided into two
northbound lanes and two southbound lanes, with a double-yellow dividing line in the center. Due to the
Harley Davidson anniversary celebration, Complainant states there was a significant amount of traffic
that area. The Hyundai completely disregards the stop sign at a high rate of speed, at which time Jones
can be seen on his Harley Davidson motorcycle entering the video frame, heading southbound on 1st
Street. Jones’ motorcycle collides with the Hyundai near the Hyundai’s front driver’s headlight. Jones’
body is launched into the air, traveling east due to the momentum of the impact, landing in the roadway
on Walker Street. His motorcycle is very heavily damaged.

Video footage from further east down Walker Street depicts the moments after the crash. Jones’ body
slides down the road on the pavement once he lands, as his motorcycle slides onto the sidewalk on the
north side of Walker Street. The Hyundai continues eastbound towards S. Barclay Street. Video footage
shows that before the silver Hyundai comes to rest at the intersection of S. Barclay Street and E.
Walker Street, two occupants jump out of the front passenger’s door. The first subject who jumps out is
the front passenger who is a black male subject, slim build, wearing a sweatshirt, as well as bright
orange gloves. The second subject—the driver of the Hyundai—is seen climbing from the driver’s seat
over to the passenger’s seat and jumping out the passenger’s door (after the front passenger
abandoned the vehicle) causing him to slide on the pavement. This subject is wearing a white tank top
and bright orange gloves, and has just one white shoe on, and matches the description of the subject
RSG described as the gunman during the robbery. During the scene investigation, a second white shoe
was located underneath the steering wheel inside the Hyundai. The video also shows a firearm falling
out of the Hyundai as the two subject bail from the vehicle. This firearm was recovered during the
scene investigation.

After the two subjects are out of the vehicle, they get to their feet and each of them end up running to
the northeast corner of the building at 123 E Walker Street. Both subjects can be seen jumping over a
short wall, and leaving the area.

Officer Kamps observed the silver Hyundai Elantra had Wisconsin plate # AYC5700. There was
significant damage to the driver’s door, which rendered the door unable to be opened.

Detective Michael Slomczewski obtained a still photograph of the driver of the Hyundai who was
wearing a white tank top, pants, bright orange gloves and one white shoe. This still image was shown
to RSG and she identified this person as one of the people who robbed her.

Complainant knows that the above-named Defendant was known to Milwaukee Police as being
potentially active in committing robberies and stealing vehicles. Detective Slomczewski viewed a
photograph of the Defendant and noticed he appeared to be the subject who was driving the silver
Hyundai Elantra at the time of the crash, based on the surveillance video.

On July 31, 2024, members if the Milwaukee Police Department’s Special Investigations Division went
to 3906 W Walnut Street to look for the Defendant. Officers made contact with ENG at the residence.
While speaking to ENG, Officer Nicholas Sandoval observed the Defendant step into the living room
then immediately retreat to the rear of the house. ENG allowed officers to enter the house to apprehend
the Defendant, and he was taken into custody after being found hiding under clothing in the basement.
The Defendant had fresh wounds that appeared to be consistent with road rash.

Detective Roman Martinez conducted a Mirandized interview of the Defendant after his arrest. During
that interview, the Defendant admitted the following regarding the events described above: he and his
friend took a bus from the north side to the south side near the area of National Avenue. They became
tired of walking and then tried to steal a car. He admitted they stole a silver Hyundai Elantra and that
they committed a robbery after stealing the car. The Defendant indicated they were driving around the
south side afterwards and were spotted by police (Sgt. Schilcher) and tried to drive fast to escape. He
explained that as they were leaving the area they crashed into something causing the airbags to
deploy. He admitted running from the vehicle along with the person he was with. The Defendant
indicated he was the front passenger. However, the Defendant was shown a still image from the
surveillance that showed the subject in the white tank top and orange gloves, who Complainant knows
from the video is the driver, and the Defendant admitted that was him. This does not exhaust
Complainant’s knowledge of statements made by the Defendant during his interview.

Complainant knows, based on the Defendant’s age, that he does not have a driver’s license, since he is
not old enough to have one in the State of Wisconsin.

Complainant knows that at 9:30pm on July 27, 2024, FR and his wife SJ walked into Milwaukee Police
District #6 to report that his vehicle, the silver 2011 Hyundai Elantra, Wisconsin plate AYC5700, was
stolen from their residence in the 1300 block of S. 35th Street (just two blocks south of National Avenue,
where the Defendant explained he was in the area of). FR explained that he and SJ went to a party on
July 27 around 4:40pm and returned home around 9:15pm. When they got home their neighbor told
them he observed two black males with guns break into their vehicle and flee the scene. FR indicated
no one had consent to take their Hyundai Elantra. Officer Ahnoki Doxtator, who took the report, later
observed this vehicle was the vehicle involved in the fatal crash at 100 W. Walker Street where Marc
Jones died.
