Calls for justice in the death of a Black man who was pinned to the ground during a struggle with security guards at a Milwaukee hotel are growing.
This undated photo provided by Samantha Mitchell shows D'Vontaye Mitchell, left, with his sister Nayish Mitchell and cousin Samantha Mitchell. D'Vontaye Mitchell died on Sunday, June 30, 2024, after being pinned to the ground by hotel security guards in Milwaukee, prompting investigations by police and the Milwaukee County district attorney's office.
“Everybody in America, after George Floyd, should have trained their employees, especially security personnel, to not put knees on peoples’ backs and peoples’ necks,” Crump added. The Milwaukee County District Attorney’s office said Wednesday that it and police investigators were awaiting full autopsy results and that the case was being reviewed as a homicide.
Crump said the family's legal team also has a signed affidavit from a hotel employee who said a security guard was striking Mitchell with a baton and that Mitchell posed no threat when he was on the ground. The worker said a security guard ordered him and a bellman to help hold Mitchell down, Crump said.
