A 42-year-old man fatally shot a man who was trying to rob him last weekend, Milwaukee police said Thursday.

The Milwaukee County district attorney's office reviewed the case on Wednesday and determined the shooting was in self-defense, Milwaukee police spokesman Lt. Mark Stanmeyer said in an email.

The shooting occurred at 10:55 p.m. Saturday in the 4400 block of N. Green Bay Ave. The 42-year-old man was taken to a hospital for treatment for his injuries and has since been released.

Authorities are withholding the name of the man who died for investigative reasons, Stanmeyer said.
