Racine, Wisconsin - On Sunday, May 21, 2023, at approximately 11:57 p.m. Racine Police Department (RAPD) initiated a traffic stop with a green Range Rover sport-utility vehicle within their jurisdiction. During the traffic stop, the driver, 38-year-old Timothy Burgess ran from RAPD officers and hid in a park (Clayton Park) nearby. RAPD officers later found Burgess laying in tall grass within Clayton Park. From a distance, RAPD officers ordered Burgess out of the tall grass. After several failed attempts to order Burgess out of the tall grass, multiple officers moved towards Burgess’s location with a K-9 and behind shields. During the officers’ approach, Burgess fired shots at the officers. Multiple officers returned fire, striking Burgess. Burgess was pronounced deceased on scene. Once the gunfire ended Officer Lamster and the other Officers in the arrest team moved back to the squads for cover.
She checked her K-9 partner for gun shot wounds as she was concerned that her dog had been struck by the suspect's gunfire. Neither she nor her dog were injured. According to the investigative report, there are roughly 80 shots fired during the 7 seconds from the first to last shot. No police officers were injured in the shooting. The following agencies assisted: Racine County Sheriff's Office, Mount Pleasant Police Department, and the Sturtevant Police Department. Later was learned that on Sunday, May 21, 2023, at approximately 10:10 p.m., Burgess was involved in a domestic-related disturbance in Mount Pleasant, WI where shots had been fired. Burgess was last seen leaving an address in Mount Pleasant, WI operating a green Range Rover sport-utility vehicle. The Racine County District Attorney has determined that no charges will be filed against the officers who shot Timothy Burgess following the traffic stop near 6th and Howland.
