Watertown, Wisconsin — On October 18, 2023, Watertown Police officers were looking for 30-year-old Justin Whitten as a suspect in an on-going domestic abuse investigation. At one point, officers found Whitten driving a vehicle and attempted a traffic stop with him. However, Whitten fled from police in his vehicle, going at least 70 miles per hour in a 25 mile per hour zone; that pursuit was terminated. As officers were searching to see if Whitten crashed after they terminated the pursuit, law enforcement learned Whitten got out of his vehicle and was on a skateboard. At approximately 3:50 p.m., Officer Nathan Zubke was driving his squad car in the vicinity of 1300 Western Avenue in the City of Watertown when he saw an individual he believed was Whitten on a skateboard.
Whitten can be seen ignoring Officer Zubke’s commands to stop and get on the ground on footage from Zubke’s body camera. Officer Zubke ran after Whitten as he skateboarded away and was quickly passed by Officer James Simon’s unmarked squad car. Officer Simon’s body camera footage shows him drawing his gun almost immediately after parking his patrol car, pointing the weapon at Whitten, who appears to pull something black from his pocket. Officer Zubke is holding his taser, yelling “he’s got ... gun, gun, gun.” Officer Simon shot Whitten twice, yelling for Whitten to roll away from the gun he was holding after he fell. Simon picked up Whitten’s gun, tossing it away from him as the man rolled onto his back. After officers handcuffed Whitten, EMTs arrived. He died at the scene.
