Overview
- Prosecutors charged Jaqwone M. Robinson, 17, with first-degree reckless homicide as a party to a crime with a dangerous weapon in the Nov. 14 killing of 18-year-old Na'Mar Hicks near Hopkins Street and Courtland Avenue.
- A second 17-year-old was arrested Wednesday in connection with the attempted robbery, with charges to be referred to the Milwaukee County district attorney, and police said they are not seeking additional suspects.
- Investigators report video shows two individuals approach Hicks at a bus stop and a struggle with a person identified as Robinson, and a 9 mm cartridge casing was recovered at the scene.
- Police say they found a discarded black ski mask and an 'APEMODE' sweatshirt; Robinson later acknowledged the sweatshirt was his and he was treated for a gunshot wound to his forearm.
- Court documents describe conflicting statements from Robinson and his denial that he fired the shot; Hicks was found by a school staff member and pronounced dead at Froedtert Hospital, with Robinson's first court appearance set for Nov. 20 and a potential sentence of up to 60 years plus a weapon enhancement if convicted.
