(Funeral Details Below)
The Milwaukee Police Department (MPD) is both heartbroken and devastated as we mourn the tragic and senseless loss of 32 year old Officer Kendall Corder, who unfortunately did not survive the injuries he sustained in the line of duty.
This is an extremely difficult time for the Milwaukee Police Department as we grieve the loss of our brother. Officer Corder will be greatly missed by all of us.
On Thursday, June 26, 2025, at approximately 9:22 p.m., Officer Corder and his partner were dispatched to the area of the N. 25th Street and W. Garfield Avenue for a subject with a weapon. While approaching, they were unexpectedly fired upon in the alley of the 2200 block of N. 24th Place. The officers were both struck and not able to return fire. Officer Corder was transported to Froedtert Hospital for treatment and later succumbed to his injuries. The second officer, a 29-year-old male with over 6-years of service, was transported to a hospital for treatment of non-fatal injuries. He was released from the hospital and recovering. The suspect is a 22-year-old man. He was arrested without further incident. Criminal charges will be referred to the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office.
MPD is forever grateful for Officer Corder’s courage in the line of duty. We grieve for his family, friends, loved ones, his partner, and every member of his MPD family whose hearts are shattered by his loss.
MPD is grateful for every one of our men and women who bravely put on the MPD uniform and face unknown dangers daily. We are proud of your response and hard work to this tragedy and recognize how difficult it must be to continue our important work despite just losing a brother.
We ask that the community grieve with us. Officer Corder gave this community six honorable years of service and put his life on the line each time he put on the uniform and reported to work. His bravery and dedication to serve Milwaukee was noble and shall never be forgotten.
