KENOSHA, Wis. — The results of the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha are expected to be announced soon.

Kenosha County District Attorney Michael Graveley will announce his decision on whether to file charges against officer Rusten Sheskey in the shooting of Blake on Aug. 23 within the next two weeks.

At 7 p.m. Monday, the Kenosha City Council is taking up a resolution to declare a state of emergency when the announcement is made.

Monday afternoon, Gov. Tony Evers authorized the Wisconsin National Guard to support local law enforcement authorities in Kenosha after officials there requested the Guard's assistance to ensure public safety. Approximately 500 troops will be mobilized this week to state active duty in advance of the decision.

“We are continuing to work with our local partners in the Kenosha area to ensure they have the state support they need, just as we have in the past,” Evers said. “Our members of the National Guard will be on hand to support local first responders, ensure Kenoshans are able to assemble safely, and to protect critical infrastructure as necessary.”

Kenosha Mayor John Antaramian and Police Chief Daniel Miskinis wrote in an opinion piece in the Kenosha News for residents to remain peaceful when the results of the investigation are made public. While it is unclear when exactly the investigation will be shared, they noted they are "preparing for the announcement."

Blake, 29, was paralyzed from the waist down. The shooting was captured in a graphic video filmed by a bystander across the street. He was shot seven times.

A release from Blake’s legal team on Aug. 25 said Blake was trying to de-escalate a domestic incident when the police arrived, drew their weapons, and tasered him. Blake was trying to check on his children in the car when police fired their weapons at him at point blank range, per the release.

The shooting sparked outrage across the state and the country; peaceful protesters and rioters took to the streets, demanding justice for Blake, as well as police reform.

President Donald Trump and President-elect Joe Biden both visited the city, talking with business owners and city leaders about how to move forward.

Kenosha leaders have made an effort for police reform and to improve community-police relations since the shooting. Obtaining body cameras for the Kenosha Police Department became a top priority for Antaramian.

The city also started hosting weekly “community listening sessions," where residents offered their perspectives on structural changes they would like to see in the city, as well as tackling racial bias. These sessions helped form a “Commit to Action Roadmap” to introduce a series of proposals to committees across city government.

Sheskey and the other officers involved in the confrontation were placed on administrative leave while the investigation continues.

“We assure you that we are committed to being on the right path,” Antaramian and Miskinis wrote in the op-ed. “The work is not quick or easy, but we are building a better and stronger Kenosha for all.”
