A 12-year-old boy in Milwaukee was charged with first-degree intentional homicide after being accused of killing a man to steal his guns. Police say a pizza receipt led to the arrest.
The boy, who is not named because of his age, allegedly carried out the fatal shooting of 34-year-old Brandon Felton inside of a Milwaukee home on March 15 because Felton refused to sell weapons to the child, according to police.
Police tied the boy to the shooting after they found a pizza receipt from the night of the killing that had been ordered using the child's cell phone, according to a criminal complaint. Police pointed to text messages obtained from the boy's phone using a search warrant that showed him making plans with two other people to steal the guns, according to the complaint.
The text conversation shows the defendant later said he had a gun and asked,"should I kill him ?," the complaint said. Another person in the conversation replied,"Noooo," but the defendant allegedly replied,"I'm belting him don't got time for dude going after my family," the documents show.
