'It is the truth, I am running for sheriff,' Gonzales said. 'The platform I'm going to have is what I'm running for. I'm just looking toward the future.'
The Kenosha, Wisconsin, police officer who shot and killed Michael Bell Jr. in 2004 intends to run for sheriff.
Gonzales will run as a Republican for the top seat in the police department in the November 2022 election, according to the candidacy paperwork.Gonzales was one of four officers present at the scene involving 21-year-old Michael Bell Jr.. On November 9, 2004, police followed Bell home after observing his driving, according to the police report.
"The investigation showed that the actions of the officers were reasonable, appropriate and well within KenoshaDepartment policy, procedure, and training. I am fully confident that the officer's actions complied with the Kenosha Police Department's use of force guidelines," the department said at the time.
Michael Bell Sr., the victim's father, told Wisconsin Public Radio that the officer's decision to run for sheriff in Kenosha County did not seem like a rational move.
