Milwaukee, Wisconsin - The Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office on May 1, 2025 charged Joseph Prado, 17, with 3 felony counts for felony murder, attempted armed robbery and possession of a firearm by a adjudicated delinquent juvenile for the April 20, 2025 homicide of Donell Jones, 17, in Milwaukee.
If convicted, Prado is facing up to 15 years in prison for felony murder, facing up to 40 years in prison for attempted armed robbery and up to $100,000 in fines, or both, and up to 10 years in prison and up to $25,000 in fines, or both for possession of a firearm.
A $500,000 cash bail was set for Prado, according to court records.
The criminal complaint says, that Prado and a friend had left a party on Easter morning near W. Townsend Street and N. 23 Street when they saw another individual who his friend had issues with and they confronted him.
Prado decided to rob one of the individuals that they stopped and apparently fired his weapon after hearing gunshots. Jones was critically injured by gunfire and later died at a local hospital, and another 20-year-old victim was injured by gunfire and survived, according to police.
