64th and Sheridan

The backstory:

Milwaukee police were called to the area of 64th and Sheridan about a  subject with a weapon  on June 11. A 911 caller said Ransom had a  big gun, all black. 

Police interviewed the victim, who said Ransom was her former live-in boyfriend. Prosecutors said when she got home, Ransom was inside accusing her of cheating and pointed an AR-style gun at her. The victim left her apartment with a friend and called police.

On June 16, police responded to the apartment again after a person called 911 reporting two males wearing ski masks and repeatedly kicking the victim's apartment door. Prosecutors said one of those men had a  big gun.  As police arrived, the call was upgraded to a shots fired call.

Prosecutors said officers came face to face with the suspect, later identified as Ransom, in the stairwell. Surveillance video shows when police call out  shooter,  four shots are fired. Officers heard women screaming from an apartment complex, and after several commands, Ransom turned the corner with his hands up. Prosecutors said Ransom was bleeding from the right arm after being shot. He was arrested.
