Milwaukee fatal battery; MPS teacher beaten to death, man charged

Loved MPS teacher to death made his first court appearance. Our Bria Jones here in the studio with the disturbing details outlined in the criminal complaint. Bria? Good evening. A witness told police the suspect punched the victim in the head 20 to 30 times, attacking him until he was lifeless. 22-year-old Daylon Millard is now charged with first-degree intentional homicide. You see him there. He made his first court appearance today as the prosecution referred to the case as horrifically a violent crime. Now witnesses say the victim was at a bus stop near 12th and Walnut on November 5th when the brutal beating took place around 5 p.m. Now, Millard is accused of killing 56-year-old Harry Bruce. Bruce was an MPS special education teacher at Roosevelt Middle School He was also a proud father. Coach and mentor, according to the criminal complaint police say when they arrived they found him bleeding from the mouth and nose and lying unconscious. Police say surveillance video nearby shows Mallard punching the suspect continuously, stopping and then jumping back on top of him. Now, the prosecution says it appears that this attack was unprovoked and that even in his final moments of life, they say Bruce was trying to help someone else One of the witnesses Reports to law enforcement the victim here was in his last moments thinking of her when he told her to go rather than suffer the same consequences he was suffering. He does have family that lives in the area. He has no previous criminal record. He is taking classes at MATC. He does have to take some medication. I did have a moment this afternoon to speak briefly with Bruce's sons who are still processing this loss. As for Ballard, his bond was set at $250,000 cash Mary, Ted. All right, Bria, thank you
