Milwaukee, Wisconsin - A Justice for Pito, actual name Luis Lorenzo, 36, rally will place on Sunday, October 8, 2023 from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. by El Rey Supermercado, 900 S. César E. Chávez Drive in the Southside of Milwaukee.
Lorenzo was attacked by several security guards from Marshal Public Safety who were contracted (date unknown) for store security by Ernesto Villarreal, the President and CEOof El Rey Supermercado (El Rey Holdings, LLC), according to a deposition dated February 15, 2023 taken for the lawsuit case filed under the Estate of Luis Lorenzo v. Marshals Public Safety, LLC, El Rey Holdings, LLC and their Insurance companies. The lawsuit is ongoing, according to Milwaukee County court records.
On September 23, 2023, Milwaukee County Judge William Sosnay dismissed all claims against El Rey Enterprises, but two appeals by the Wisconsin Court of Appeals were granted for depositions of defendants to be filed.
According to the Milwaukee County civil lawsuit, Lorenzo went to El Rey Supermarket on July 9, 2022 to purchase some items and was confronted by Marshal Public Safety Officer Anthony "Tony" James Nolden, 59, which attempt to keep Lorenzo from entering the store with a backpack in his shoulder. The Estate of Lorenzo lawsuit says that Nolden pepper sprayed Lorenzo as he attempted to leave the store. Then as Lorenzo exited, Enoch Wilson, 45, the director of the Marshal Public Safety company who arrived at the scene including Nolden took down Lorenzo in the parking lot after Nolden and Wilson pepper sprayed Lorenzo for a second time. While Lorenzo was on the ground and blinded, as he feared for his life and was defending himself, he took out a handgun and fatally shot Nolden. Then Wilson took out his handgun out and fatally shot Lorenzo.
The lawsuit also claims that Marshal Public Safety (MPS) officers have no police powers under the law to arrest someone.
The Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office decided not to criminally charge Wilson with Lorenzo's homicide, nor for Nolden's death.
Both Lorenzo's and Nolden's deaths were ruled homicides by the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office.
Also, at the time of the deadly confrontation at El Rey Supermarket, both Wilson and Nolden had their firearms licenses expired. Nolden's firearm license expired on March 10, 2022 and Wilson's license to carry a firearm expired on June 28, 2022, according to the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services website.
