Under Wisconsin law, anyone 17 or older is treated as an adult in the criminal justice system. On Wednesday — three days after the shooting — state authorities identified the officer who shot Blake as Rusten Sheskey, a seven-year veteran of the Kenosha Police Department. Sheskey shot Blake while holding onto his shirt after officers first unsuccessfully used a Taser, the Wisconsin Justice Department said. Items are placed at the site of a Tuesday night shooting in Kenosha, Wis., on Wednesday.
