WEST ALLIS, Wis. (AP) - The Latest on a 14-year-old boy charged in the fatal shootings of two teenage brothers in suburban Milwaukee (all times local):
3:35 p.m.
Prosecutors have filed charges against a 14-year-old boy accused of fatally shooting two teenage brothers during a failed attempt to rob them of money and marijuana at a house in a Milwaukee suburb.
Charging documents filed Wednesday say the boy told investigators he didn’t plan on hurting anyone but became scared when he got into a struggle with one of the victims during the attempted robbery.
Killed in the shootings Sunday in West Ellis were 17-year-old Trajan Edwards and 19-year-old Croshian “CJ” Edwards.
Milwaukee County prosecutors charged the 14-year-old as an adult with two counts of first-degree reckless homicide and attempted armed robbery. Court records don’t indicate he has an attorney.
A 13-year-old boy who authorities say was Lewis’ accomplice is expected to be charged as a juvenile.
