Summary
SectionsTVFeaturedMore from NBC Follow NBC News The two Kenosha, Wisconsin, police officers involved in the shooting of Jacob Blake during an attempted arrest were identified Friday by the state's Department of Justice.The state DOJ had previously identified the officer who shot Blake, a Black man, seven times in the back as Rusten Sheskey, a seven-year veteran of the police department. It is not clear whether Blake was carrying the knife at the time he was shot.Benjamin Crump, another lawyer for Blake's family, said Blake was "helping to de-escalate a domestic incident" when the officer shot him from behind as Blake was walking away.The DOJ press release does not state Meronek's role in the attempted arrest, and the Kenosha Police Department did not immediately return a request for comment Friday.
