Accused Killer Given Weak Sentence by Janet Protasiewicz Stomped & Strangled Milwaukee Woman

Elijah D. Combs

Update – we were just told by sources that Elijah Combs led Milwaukee police on a chase the evening of Feb. 28, crashed, and shot himself.

The accused killer of the Milwaukee Common Council president’s niece was previously given a weak sentence by left-wing Milwaukee Judge Janet Protasiewicz in a brutal domestic violence attack in which he stomped on, choked, and punched the victim, pulling out clumps of her hair and knocking out a tooth, according to court documents obtained by Wisconsin Right Now.

Had Elijah D. Combs been convicted on all of the original charges in that 2016 case, and given by the max by Protasiewicz, he would not have been on the streets to allegedly murder Aliyah Perez, 26, who was slain on Monday, Feb. 27, 2023.

Instead, Protasiewicz signed off on a plea deal tossing three felony charges, stayed a prison term (meaning he wouldn’t have to serve any of it unless he messed up), and gave Combs probation and 6 months in the House of Correction. She stayed all prison and jail time in a separate felony bail-jumping charge.

Perez was the niece of Milwaukee Common Council President Jose G. Perez. Combs is at large. The victim’s family, in Facebook posts, and a law enforcement source confirmed he is the suspect in Perez’s murder.

Protasiewicz’s actions are only the beginning of the Milwaukee court system’s failure to get Combs off the streets. When accused of third-office OWI and fleeing an officer in early February, he was given a piece of paper and simply told to show up for court, an increasingly common practice in Milwaukee County, where the short-staffed jail won’t accept all offenders anymore.

We requested the criminal complaint through open records laws in the 2016 substantial battery case that Protasiewicz handled. Here is what it says.

We have redacted the victim’s name. If you are or know the victim in this case, however, we would like to talk with you. You can email jim.wirightnow@gmail.com and jessica.wirightnow@gmail.com.
