Kenosha residents are experiencing pain and fear, according to the Urban League president, in a city with a history of Black oppression.

In his remarks, the civil rights activist evoked a series of Black victims of violence, from George Floyd to Breonna Taylor.

Illinois teenager Kyle Rittenhouse is facing five felony charges and one misdemeanor charge in connection with a shooting in Kenosha, Wis., that left two protesters dead and another injured.

The shootings of the three protesters appeared to change the tenor of demonstrations on Wednesday night. The protests had turned violent a night earlier when two people were killed.

The 17-year-old accused of killing two was a police youth cadet in the Chicago suburbs. He said on social media that he went to Wisconsin to assist police.

The 17-year-old suspect is charged with first-degree intentional homicide. Kenosha Police said the shooting took place on the third night of protests following the police shooting of Jacob Blake.
