Coverup And Lack Of Transparency By Milwaukee Police For Withholding Cops Response Time To Domestic Violence 911 Call Ending In Triple Homicides In The African-American Community

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Friday, CBS 58 News confirmed what Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) first reported (broke the story) that a neighbor of three murdered victims had called 911 to report a domestic violence incident next door, but Milwaukee police apparently didn't respond to the scene until hours later. Nine days later, the murdered victims were identified as Amarah J. Banks, 26, and both of her daughters, Camaria Banks, 4, and Zaniya R. Ivery, 5, and the murder suspect was identified as Arzel Ivery, 26.

CBS 58 News reported that the Milwaukee Police Department (MPD) has refused to release the response time by police officers to the domestic violence 911 call that involved the deceased victims and the suspect until the triple homicide trial ends. The neighbor who called 911 posted in her Facebook account, that if police would have responded sooner, the victims might have been alive today.

The lack of transparency by the MPD to release the cops response time to the domestic violence incident until the trial ends does indicate a possible coverup, which might show that the neighbor was right, police officers didn't show up at the scene until hours later (at least 6 to 8 hours later). Multiple mainstream media outlets previously reported that when the 911 call was initially made, police officers arrived 9 minutes later, but left the scene, since they couldn't locate the complainant at the time.

What does the cops response time have to do with the trial?, since it is public record and the public has a right to know how long did it take police officers to actually respond to a domestic violence 911 call, especially in the African-American community where the Milwaukee Police District Station 5 is located.

Also, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, the Milwaukee Common Council and the Milwaukee Fire & Police Commission have not commented about the allegations raised that it took Milwaukee cops multiple hours to respond to the local domestic violence 911 call.

During last Sunday's press conference, Milwaukee Police Chief Alfonso Morales stated that there was no indication that foul play was in play, but the neighbor (witness) of the murdered victims did tell the 911 operator that the suspect was beating the victim and had heard pleas for the suspect not to kill the victim, which the Ivery criminal complaint states. The Ivery criminal complaint mentions a 911 call, but it doesn't indicate, if police officers ever responded, a coverup by MPD?

Ivery was charged with three felony first-degree intentional homicide charges and if convicted, he is facing three life sentences in prison without the possibility of parole.
