Police say it does not appear that the shooter was motivated by racist acts in the workplace.
"The employee was not working that day, our HR team notified him of the incident, it was investigated fully," Adam Collins, chief communications and corporate affairs officer for Molson Coors, said in a statement.
Two former employees, Robert Powell and Lonnie Carl Jones, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that a few months after the noose incident, several racist notes were put in the shooter's locker. Powell worked in sanitation at the complex from September 2014 to May 2018. Jones worked at the company from 2013 to 2019.
The police statement Wednesday came a day after Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett said he was urging Police Chief Alfonso Morales to release more information about the investigation.
