The Wisconsin Department of Justice said Saturday that an Ozaukee County Sheriff deputy, identified as Michael Zilke, will not be criminally charged in the deadly shooting of 29-year-old Christopher Sewell on Nov 2. in Grafton.

The DOJ also released body camera and squad car video from the incident.

An investigative report from Ozaukee County District Attorney Adam Gerol said Sewell failed to pull over while driving south on Lakeshore Road (Hwy. C) when Deputy Michael Zilke attempted a traffic stop for outstanding felony warrants around 11 a.m. Sewell was also a person of interest in an armed, forced entry incident into a neighbor's residence.

According to the report, multiple deputies joined in the vehicle chase. Deputy Michael Ganey used a tire deflation device to stop Sewell's red SUV on Preserve Court, just north of Pioneer Road.

As Sewell fled westbound on Lakefield Road, he lost control of his vehicle and went into a ditch. Squad camera video then shows Sewell getting out of the vehicle and running into a nearby wooded area. Zilke ran after him.

Video shows Sewell stop and turn back to face Zilke. The report said that as Sewell was turning, he was holding a handgun in his right hand. Zilke then shot Sewell seven times, killing him, according to the report. Another deputy attempted life-saving measures and CPR on Sewell until paramedics from the Grafton Fire Department arrived.

Investigators found a loaded handgun near Sewell. The handgun contained 13 unfired Blazer 9mm cartridges, which matched the same brand as those found in Sewell's bedroom during a later search. A bag containing a suspected cocaine base was retrieved from his left sock, and more corner cuts of a similar substance were found in his right sock.

Gerol concluded that Zilke was justified to use deadly force in this case "to protect himself and others."

Gerol went on to say, "While I regret that any incident that results in the loss of life, Mr. Sewell's death was occasioned by his own behavior. It didn't have to end this way. Simply put, Christopher Sewell forced Deputy Zilke into a situation where there was nothing else he could do but protect his own life and fulfill his oath to protect the public."
