The Wisconsin Department of Justice is releasing more information about an officer-involved death near Fort Atkinson last week.
Three State Troopers shot 23-year-old Joseph R. Crawford to death on January 9th after he led officers on a high speed chase, fired a gun at officers, and tried to carjack a person at gunpoint.
The DOJ identified the three officers who shot Crawford Wednesday as Trooper Keegan Williams, Trooper Alexander Polizzi, and Trooper David Heinisch.
Investigation revealed that Crawford was also a suspect in a bank robbery that occurred in Monona earlier in the day. State Troopers were not aware of the bank robbery when they attempted the original traffic stop for speeding.
