A 47-year-old man, suspected in a homicide, late Friday led Milwaukee police on a car chase from the south side to downtown, and when his vehicle became disabled in the busy bar district, exited his car and opened fire on officers.
The return fire from officers killed the man, police said. The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office Saturday afternoon confirmed the suspect was Ernest Terrell Blakney, who police had been searching for since Aug. 25 as the suspect in the killing of his girlfriend.
Following the shooting, police diverted most traffic from the bar district, shutting down parts of North Water Street and East Juneau Avenue.
