Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Tuesday, Gregory Dale Renfo III, 23, confirmed to Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) that he was not under the influence of any drugs, substance or alcohol when he committed indoor property damage at Big Sharks Fish & Chicken fast food restaurant located in the 3400 block of W. North Ave. on November 21, 2022. That night, Renfro III says that he was actually suffering from being tired from working various shifts as a manager and was hungry. He just wanted to get some food to eat.

Renfro III went to Big Sharks Fish & Chicken for some food with a female co-worker, and while ordering the food, the male cashier who was taking the order began to flirt with Renfro III's co-worker and was ignoring him as he attempted to order. Renfro III apparently complained about the poor service he was getting to the cashier and the male cashier told him "to get your Black ass out," that's when Renfro III says he just reacted and began to trash or to engage in property damage, which several videos posted on social media by Tre Bono and OT Taee showed the indoor incident at Big Sharks Fish & Chicken. The videos were later taken down, but HNNUSA was able to get copies. The longer video (23 minute) version by Tre Bono shows Renfro III throwing soda, a chair including other actions leading to property damage. It also shows at least 6 individuals who walked in including some employees from the restaurant attacking Renfro III with weapons (sticks). The individuals punched, kicked and struck Renfro III multiple times until he managed to run out of the restaurant as the individuals followed him while continuing to repeatedly striking him.

OT Taee's short social media video shows a close up of the multiple individuals striking and assaulting Renfro III as he exited the restaurant. They caught up with Renfro III at a nearby field and began to kick, punch, strike him with the long sticks and stump on Renfro III's head, neck and back multiple times to the point that he temporarily lost consciousness a couple of times, according to Renfro III.

It took more than 15 minutes for police to arrive at the scene. Police took Renfro III into custody. He was taken to a local hospital for treatment and then was taken to the Milwaukee County jail for booking. The nurse at the Milwaukee County jail refused to admit Renfro III at the jail and he was returned to the hospital for a complete medical examination including a head injury scanning.

Renfro III was later booked at the Milwaukee County jail and spent four days and nights in jail. According to the criminal complaint, Renfro III was charged on November 23, with one felony count for criminal damage to property (over $2,500), court records indicate. Renfro III was released on a $2,500 signature bond.

According to court records, Renfro III has no prior criminal record or convictions.

Milwaukee police and the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office charged Renfro III with a felony for property damage, but failed to criminally charge the 6 individuals who attacked Renfro III with weapons committing felony assault and battery with intent to cause injury for savagely and brutally beating up Renfro III to the point of unconsciousness. The criminal complaint shows that Renfro III is prohibited from contacting at least 5 individuals who attacked him that were just identified by initials in the complaint against Renfro III.

Renfro III who is gradually recovering from the brutal beating by at least 6 individuals at Big Sharks Fish & Chicken released photos showing his healing wounds in his arm, neck and back.

Darryl King Rick Farmer II from the Original Black Panthers of Milwaukee released the following statement, "THE BRUTAL ASSAULT THAT TRANSPIRED AT BIG SHARKS CHICKEN AND FISH IN MILWAUKEE IS UNACCEPTABLE AND INTOLERABLE!! THERE WAS A DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN A CUSTOMER AND EMPLOYEE!! RACIAL INDIGNATIONS WERE SAID TO THE CUSTOMER WHO BECAME OFFENDED AND OUTRAGED!! WORDS WERE EXCHANGED AND PROPERTY DAMAGE OCCURRED!! THE EMPLOYEE WHO WAS BEHIND SAFETY GLASS TOOK IT UPON HIMSELF TO CALL THE POLICE AND FRIENDS ALONG WITH FAMILY MEMBERS!! A GROUP OF THUGS ENTERED THE RESTAURANT AND THEN BRUTALLY AND VICIOUSLY ASSAULTED THE VICTIM WITH STICKS AND CLUBS!! CHASING HIM OUT AND CONTINUED THE ASSAULT IN A NEARBY FIELD!! THIS CAUSED SEVERE INJURIES TO THE VICTIM!! THIS IS INTOLERABLE AND UNACCEPTABLE!! WE ARE DEMANDING THAT ASSAULT AND BATTERY FELONY CHARGES AGAINST THE THUGS BE BROUGHT!! WE ARE ALSO DEMANDING THE IMMEDIATE CLOSURE OF THIS BUSINESS DUE THEIR  BRUTAL ASSAULT!! THE MAYOR CAVALIER JOHNSON, THE D.A. JOHN CHISHOLM AND THE ALDERMAN RUSSELL STAMPER MUST BECOME INVOLVED TO HELP JUSTICE BE SERVED! WE ARE ASKING EVERY COMMUNITY INDIVIDUAL TO STOP SPENDING MONEY THERE DUE TO THIS!! JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED AND BIG SHARKS CHICKEN AND FISH PERMANENTLY SHUT DOWN!! NO EXCEPTIONS!!"

Update:

HNNUSA has learned that Ayad Maher who operates the Big Sharks Fish & Chicken fast food restaurant at the 3400 block of W. North Avenue is planning to open a second Big Sharks Fish & Chicken fast food restaurant at 8333 W. Appleton Ave. located at the corner of W. Appleton and W. Hampton Avenues at the beginning of 2023.

The following Facebook posts in the Big Sharks Mke FB page responding to a backlash of posts about the incident stated, "...we did call police the guy was out of control he was there for more that 30 min he intended to hurt employees if he mentally ill shouldn’t be on the street destroying peoples property His girlfriend was with him and said that he was on mushrooms.and we did refund his money back before all that happened...What happed is wrong and unacceptable employees where in fear and danger and we all humans and we all make mistakes we have to come together fix problems instead for making it worse...he was making death treats we are sorry it went the way it did may justice be served to all communities and god bless everyone involved."

It seems that the individual (page administrator) posting comments on the Big Sharks Mke page agrees that everyone should get justice including Renfro III, which those who brutally attacked him with weapons (sticks) should also be be criminally charged as was Renfro III. Renfro III's criminal complaint also includes the initials (MTA) for Maher T. Ayad, who Renfro III is prohibited from contacting.

Verónica Díaz, Former Events Director For God Touch MKE Claims Discrimination And Unjust Termination By An All White Board Of Directors

Díaz is currently prohibited by the six-member God Touch MKE Board members from participating in any worship gatherings, sessions and activities that are open to the public in the Southside of Milwaukee.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Monday, Verónica Díaz, the former events director for God Touch MKE, Inc., a non-denominational place of worship, the ministry is a safe place for those battling addiction, finding jobs for those recently released from prison and providing an adult residential program at the 1500 block of W. Lincoln Ave. in the Southside of Milwaukee. Díaz believes that the all White Board of Directors discriminated against her when she was terminated on November 2, 2022 via an email notice without any due process and says that she has no history of any written or verbal warnings for inappropriate job performance. Díaz was the only bilingual Latina employee at God Touch MKE.

When Díaz received the termination email from Witkowiak, she felt "disheartening and heart breaking" after she had been very passionate in doing her job at God Touch MKE, which she loved to do. Díaz did noticed that when Calderon was not available at God Touch MKE meetings, the Board would meet with other employees in regards to the ministry activities and that she was left out of those meetings with employees.

Díaz told Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) that she received an email on November 2, 2022 sent by James N. Witkowiak, president of the God Touch MKE Board of Directors stating, "this email serves as notice of your termination of employment at God Touch Milwaukee effective immediately...In addiction, we do not want you to volunteer or be involved in God Touch Milwaukee Ministry going forward..."

HNNUSA also contacted CEO Marty Calderon, the evangelical ministry pastor and founder of God Touch MKE who confirmed that Díaz had no history of any kind of disciplinary warnings, no verbal warnings either or had done anything inappropriate concerning job performance to get her dismissed from her position.

Calderon indicated that he was surprised and "had no clue" that the Board had moved during his absence to dismiss Díaz without any previous employment infractions, wrongdoing and that he was not condoning what they did.

Calderon was given a sabbatical leave by the Board in October 2022 and will return to Touch One MKE by the first week of December 2022. Calderon told HNNUSA that he strongly disagreed what the Board did to Díaz and that no one should be denied participation at the ministry.

Nicholas Hackbart, the assistant executive director of God Touch MKE replaced Pastor Calderon while he is on temporary leave.

Díaz had volunteered at God Touch MKE two years prior before getting hired on June 1, 2022.

Díaz is now considering legal advice in her case.

Apparently, the Board of Directors acted without any legal advice and might have failed to consider that they could be solely liable for alleged discrimination and terminating an employee without just cause, which in this case, is the only employee at God Touch MKE that is Latina, a female with bilingual language skills that helped Paster Calderon with Spanish translations for those Spanish speaking ministry followers in the Southside of Milwaukee, even when God Touch MKE is a non-profit ministry.

The God Touch MKE Board of Directors including the Chief Executive Director (CEO) and assistant executive director:

Zapata also told police that on November 1, 2022, she had admitted to requesting illegal military absentee ballots and using fake names to show how easy it was to commit election fraud to Claire Woodall-Vogg, the executive director of the Milwaukee Election Commission. Woodall-Vogg told investigators that on October 31, she sent Zapata an article claiming that someone had fraudulently applied for military absentee ballots, but that Zapata claimed she didn't know anything about it.

Police say, that Zapata admitted to illegally requesting military absentee ballots, and she "did this because she wanted to make a point that there is fraud in existence...(and she) wanted to bring the actual true fraud out..."

So far, Zapata failed to prove to police that actual military absentee ballot fraud actually exits or happened in the 2020 presidential election in Milwaukee. 

The Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office has not charged nor prosecuted any individual of using the MyVote website to illegally request military absentee ballots to commit election fraud other than Zapata herself.

Zapata has worked for the City of Milwaukee for 10 years including 7 years with the election commission.

Mayor Cavalier Johnson on Thursday announced that Zapata had been fired from her position at the election commission after it was discovered that she illegally requested military absentee ballots using fake names.

Zapata knew that requesting military absentee ballots with fake names for any purpose was election fraud and illegal, according to the criminal complaint.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Thursday, Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson confirmed during a press conference that City of Milwaukee Election Commission deputy director Kimberly Zapata,  45, of South Milwaukee had been fired for allegedly committing fraud by illegally requesting military absentee ballots using other names and then sending them to the house of Wisconsin State Representative Janel Brandtjen (R-Menomonie Falls), the State Assembly Elections Committee Chairwoman  to alert her of potential election fraud.

Johnson says, that Zapata "apparently sought fictitious military ballots" from a state website and then forward them to State Representative Brandtjen.

It is not clear, if Brandtjen reported Zapata's fraudulent act to authorities.

The Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office is looking into the matter, for alleged election fraud, a criminal offense. Criminal charges are pending against Zapata for felony malfeasance in office and a misdemeanor count for illegally requesting military ballots, which are exclusively reserved for the military in active duty aboard or in other parts of the country.
