According to authorities, Brown, 33, is still hospitalized and his condition is stable at an area hospital.
“The Racine Sheriff’s Department will continue as the lead agency in the investigation. Charges for Mr. Brown will be forthcoming once the investigation is completed and submitted to the District Attorney’s office,” according to a news release from the Kenosha County Sheriff.
A Kenosha County Sheriff’s deputy shot Brown at a gas station in the village of Bristol, Wisconsin, on Thursday morning, after spotting a car that was involved in a homicide in Chicago, after he shot a police K-9, authorities said.
The car he was driving belonged to the victim of one of two murders on Chicago’s Northwest Side early Thursday morning, CBS 2 has learned.
Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth said around 11:15 a.m., Kenosha County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the Benson Corners Shell gas station, at the corner of State Highway 50 and U.S. Route 45 in Bristol, in an attempt to locate a stolen vehicle involved in a murder in Chicago, according to the sheriff’s office. The sheriff’s office had received a tip from Chicago Police.
K-9 Riggs was shot in the forehead and was rushed to an emergency veterinarian facility in Northern Illinois. His condition is stable and from what we have been told by the vet hospital he will recover.
