A Wisconsin jury has found Tremaine Jones, 23, guilty of gunning down two police officers, resulting in the death of Officer Kendall Corder and the injury of another officer. Jones was convicted of first-degree intentional homicide, attempted first-degree intentional homicide, and other charges following a deadly shooting in Milwaukee on June 26, 2025. The case has sent shockwaves through the Milwaukee community, as the tragic events unfolded after a violent altercation between two women.
The Incident: A Night of Violence
The shooting incident began when two women got into a fight on the night of June 26, 2025, in Milwaukee’s North 25th Street and West Garfield Avenue area. The dispute was allegedly sparked by a cheating boyfriend, and a man, later identified as Jones, intervened by brandishing a gun to break up the altercation.
Prosecutors explained that one of the women, angered by the intervention, contacted Jones for assistance. He arrived at the scene with a short-barreled rifle, and according to Assistant District Attorney Grant Huebner, Jones “decides to make 25th and Garfield his little punching bag” and began firing shots, seemingly enraged over the earlier incident. Cellphone footage captured Jones walking down the street, waving his rifle and shouting, “What you want? Let’s do it!”
The Fatal Shooting of Officer Corder
While the situation began as an argument between two women, it quickly escalated into a dangerous standoff. Multiple 911 calls were made, and the people involved in the fight dispersed. However, Jones continued to carry the rifle, and soon after, officers, including Officer Kendall Corder, arrived on the scene.
Jones reportedly fired 16 shots, 13 of which were directed at a man who was fleeing. After pausing, he fired more shots. Officer Corder, aged 32, was struck by the gunfire and later succumbed to his injuries. His 29-year-old partner was also hit but managed to survive after receiving medical treatment…
