A Madison, Wisconsin, police officer shot and killed a man who had injured him with a knife while resisting arrest, Madison Police Chief John Patterson said Wednesday. The shooting occurred on a city street in a neighborhood with restaurants, bars, shops, and homes, less than two miles from the state Capitol.

Cellphone video of the incident circulated on social media, capturing three gunshots. Patterson cautioned that the video offered only one perspective and extended condolences to the deceased man's family. The man, who was in his 30s, was not immediately identified by police.

According to Patterson, officers responded to calls about an individual attempting to enter parked vehicles. The suspect reportedly fled on a bicycle through backyards before being contacted by officers in the street. During the ensuing struggle, the suspect allegedly produced a knife and injured an officer. A taser deployment was unsuccessful before the same officer discharged his weapon. The man later died at a hospital.

Patterson described the officer who fired his weapon as a veteran but provided no further details. Another officer sustained an injury, though the nature of it was not specified, while two other officers were unharmed.

The Wisconsin Department of Criminal Investigation will lead the inquiry into the shooting, as it involves law enforcement officers.

This incident occurred on the same street where a white police officer fatally shot Tony Robinson, who was biracial, in 2015. That 2015 shooting led to significant protests, but the district attorney later determined the officer's actions were justified and did not file charges.

While police have not released the race of the officer involved in Wednesday's shooting or the man killed, advocates from the Madison Black community stated that the man who died was Black. Brandi Grayson, head of the advocacy group Urban Triage, commented on the incident, saying, "Another Black man is dead on a Madison street, and our community watched him die before we even knew his name. That is the cruelty of state violence."
