Sources have confirmed that the 35-year-old man is Keith William Jeter.
While it is typically TMJ4's policy not to share suspect names before charges have officially been filed, station leadership is making an exception in this case due to the high profile nature of the case, and the fact that three officers were injured.
He said he was at work when someone sent him a TMJ4 article about the police presence. His first thought was "I'm like I'm hoping it wasn't him. I'm praying it wasn't him."
The roommate who wants to remain anonymous said their apartment looked like a “tornado” came through.

Lee asked the roommate about the suspect’s warrant. He replied "I didn't know that. That makes me feel betrayed because that's like part of your life that I wasn't privy to."
He feels betrayed, but thankful he wasn't home.
"I feel gracious. I feel lucky. I feel like God was on my side today,” he said.
The suspect was injured and is in the hospital. The officers involved will be placed on administrative duty, which is routine.
The Milwaukee Police Department's homicide unit will be investigating the shooting. Video related to the incident will be released in accordance with standard operating procedure.
The investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information is asked to contact the police.
