MILWAUKEE, Wis. — New charges have been filed in the shooting death of two 15-year-olds in Milwaukee on Saturday night.
Milwaukee police have an arrest warrant and are searching for 15-year-old Christopher N. Scott. He's facing the following charges:
- Two counts of first degree reckless homicide, as a party to a crime, and use of a dangerous weapon
- Armed robbery
Alejandro Sanchez and Monroe Weso were both killed near 14th and Halsey. According to the criminal complaint, Scott was captured on surveillance video shooting Sanchez and Weso. Sanchez told first responders he knew who had shot him before dying from his gunshot wounds.
A 13-year-old was in children's court Friday in relation to the crime.
He is facing the following charges:
1. Two counts of felony murder
2. One count of armed robbery
Friday, a judge ordered the juvenile to stay in secure detention and claims he is a danger to himself and others.
TMJ4 News is not naming that 13-year-old because he is being charged as a juvenile at this time.
The state can file a waiver to charge the teen as an adult before the plea hearing, which is on June 3. In Wisconsin, a child as young as 10, who is charged with murder, can be charged as an adult.
Prosecutors said the 13-year-old and a friend met up with people to buy marijuana and then planned to rob the dealers.
Attorneys claim the 13-year-old and their friend did the transaction, then the friend pulled out a firearm, the dealer attempted to grab the gun, the juvenile punched the dealer, and the friend fired the gun.
MPD says officers have a second person in custody in relation to this case, but charges have not been filed.
According to the criminal complaint, Scott told the other two involved in the robbery that the weapon was a "ghost gun" from Minnesota that he had stolen from a cousin.
