Kenosha, WI - On Thursday, the Kenosha County District Attorney's Office criminally charged Kyle H. Rittenhouse, 17, of Antioch, Illinois with multiple felony counts that include two counts of first-degree intentional homicide with use of a dangerous weapon; first-degree reckless homicide with use of dangerous weapon; two counts of first-degree recklessly endangering safety with use of a dangerous weapon; attempted first-degree intentional homicide with use of a dangerous weapon and possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18. If convicted on all charges, Rittenhouse is facing multiple life terms in prison without the possibility of parole.

The shooting victims were at a Kenosha protest with hundreds of peaceful protesters seeking accountability for the Jacob Blake shooting by Kenosha Police Officer Rusten T. Sheskey who shot Blake 7 times in the back while he arrempted to return to his vehicle as his children watched in horror. Blake is now paralyzed from the waist down and it is not known, if he will be permanently paralyzed.
Officer Sheskey and another officer were placed on administrative duty pending the outcome of the shooting, which is being investigated bt the Wisconsin Department of Justice.

Update: On Friday, a Lake County Circuit Court judge in Illinois delayed the extradition hearing until September 25, 2020 by request of defendant Kyle Rittenhouse. Rittenhouse is wanted in Wisconsin on a fugitive warrant for 1st-degree intentional homicide and fleeing the state of Wisconsin to avoid prosecution.
