Adam Trammell, a man from West Milwauke, was showering when police entered his apartment and began to taser him. Trammell suffered from schizophrenia.

The Journal Sentinel reported, “The Taser use was a significant condition leading up to the May death of Trammell, 22, according to the medical examiner’s report. The Milwaukee County district attorney is reviewing possible criminal charges in connection with the officers’ actions, Police Chief Dennis L. Nasci confirmed.”

The Police body camera footage was reviewed by Adam’s family and the attorney’s office.

“The only reason why people should get Tased is that they’re doing something. He wasn’t. I just seen him drinking water. He’s off balance, Tased, hit, then they Tase him again. They kept saying, “Don’t move.’ Tase. Tase. Tase,” Adam’s father said in an interview.
