In a case that has shaken the Milwaukee community, a local firefighter and his brother have been charged with a brutal assault on a man they allege was an uninvited intruder in their home. According to FOX6 News, 37-year-old Milwaukee firefighter Ty Dright-Jackson and his brother Tramel Dright have been charged with first-degree reckless injury following an incident that took place on December 4, near 31st and Juneau.

The criminal complaint states that the victim was found lying on the kitchen floor, screaming and crying in agony from his injuries. In an unsettling account, the complaint detailed that Dright-Jackson is accused of stomping on a the man's head and face at least 25 times, while his brother held the victim down and punched him repeatedly.

Adding to the gravity of the incident, surveillance footage reviewed by authorities reportedly shows the severity of the attack, whereby both brothers delivered repeated strikes to the victim. As stated by CBS 58, the footage captured the two men further beating the man inside the house, including using a baseball bat. Dright-Jackson admitted to police that he wished to "get information" from the victim using his fists and kicks. The sustained injuries were severe, with the victim suffering from a broken nose and facial wounds profound enough to require stitches, leaving the man hospitalized and intubated.

Following the firefighter's arrest, the Milwaukee Fire Department has commenced an internal investigation, although the department withheld comment at the time due to the ongoing police investigation and legal proceedings. “To ensure compliances with the Milwaukee Police Department investigation, and District Attorney charges, the Milwaukee Fire Department is unable to comment at this time,” a statement from the Fire Department read, obtained by CBS 58. The assault has been described in court documents as showing an "utter disregard for human life".

Both men were given a cash bond set at $5,000 during their court appearance last Wednesday. If convicted of the charges, they face up to 25 years in prison and $100,000 in fines. They are due back in court on January 8 for a preliminary hearing, as reported by WISN.
