The Milwaukee Police Department never forgets those members who paid the ultimate price in service to the community. Today we honor two officers who were killed in the line of duty on March 19, 1985.

At 9:30 a.m. on March 19th, 1985, Police Officer Rosario Collura and Police Officer Leonard Lesniewski were gunned down in an alley by a man who later said that he did it because he did not want to go back to jail.

Collura and Lesniewski interrupted a drug deal at 17th and Center Streets. As the officers were frisking the four men, one of them stepped back, pulled a gun from his back pocket and shot both officers in the chest. Lesniewski was struck in the heart and died at the scene. Collura made it to the hospital and was expected to survive but died about six hours later from uncontrollable bleeding.

Leonard Lesniewski was 48 years old and became an officer in March 1969. He moved to the 5th District in April 1984 after 15 years in District 4 on the Northwest Side. He served fours years in the Marine Corps and married his wife Carol when they were 23. They had two daughters.

Rosario Collura was 39 years old. He was wounded once before in the line of duty. In 1973, he was one of four officers who were shot during a struggle with a prisoner in the garage of the 5th District. In that incident he was shot twice in the right leg. He was awarded a merit citation for performance above and beyond the call of duty.

Collura had been assigned to the 5th District since his appointment in December 1966. Itโ€™s where he had grown up, lived at the time and eventually would die. Only two weeks earlier, he switched from the night shift to the day shift, where he thought heโ€™d be safer.

Collura was married and had three childrenโ€”two girls and a boy.

The shooter, Terrance Davis, 26 years old at the time of shooting, was convicted of two counts of first-degree murder. He was sentenced to two life terms in prison.
