to injuries sustained in an ambush-style sh**ting last week.

the department said in a statement filled with grief, pride, and respect.

A Hero’s Final Call

Thursday, June 26, near 25th and Garfield.

Upon exiting their squad car in an alley, the officers were immediately and unexpectedly fired upon, with no chance to return fire. The incident has been described by officials as an ambush.

Both men were rushed to Froedtert Hospital, where Corder was placed on life support. McCray, who suffered g*nsh*t wounds to the back and foot, was released two days later. Tragically, Corder’s injuries, including damage to his heart, proved fatal.

Outpouring of Grief and Support

A procession of squad cars escorted Officer Corder’s body from Froedtert to the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office on Sunday. It was a heartbreaking tribute witnessed by community members, fellow officers, and city officials.
