After investigating the second incident in 2016, the district attorney’s office ruled that Officer Mensah was justified. The United States Attorney’s Office for Eastern Wisconsin also reviewed the case for potential civil rights violations—and found none. As reported by the ''Milwaukee Journal Sentinel'', officials from the U.S. Department of Justice said, “there are a number of pieces of evidence that corroborate Mensah’s version of the events leading to the shooting. The [[DOJ]] said police found the gun on the front passenger seat and that Anderson’s DNA was later found on the gun”—and that the individual “kept reaching for it despite the officer’s command not to do so.” | After investigating the second incident in 2016, the district attorney’s office ruled that Officer Mensah was justified.
