Dvontaye Mitchell

D'vontaye L. Mitchell (1981 – June 30, 2024) was a 43-year-old African-American man who succumbed to a torturous, video-documented death that involved at least four security staff members of a downtown Milwaukee hotel witnessed pinning Dvontaye Mitchell to the pavement while he pleaded for his life in the final moments leading to his death. “It’s like watching the video of George Floyd’s death,” Mitchell’s younger brother, Darrell Giles said. “Everything about it reminds me of George Floyd.” The June 30, 2024, death of Dvontaye Mitchell sparked national outcry with civil rights activists including Rev Al Sharpton and Attorney Ben Crump leading to call to demand "Justice for Dvontaye".

On Thursday July 11, 2024, a funeral service to commemorate the life and times of Dvontaye Mitchell was held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin at Holy Redeemer Institutional Church Of God In Christ.
