Kenosha, Wis., police Officer Rusten Sheskey, who is white, shot Jacob Blake seven times in the back in August after Blake slowly walked away from officers and toward a parked vehicle.
Attorneys for two men shot by Kyle Rittenhouse have each filed $10 million claims against Kenosha, Wis., as the city girds for unrest when a charging decision is made in the shooting of Jacob Blake.
The teenager is accused of killing two people and injuring another during demonstrations over the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man who was left paralyzed.
Dominick David Black was charged with illegally providing the gun that prosecutors say Kyle Rittenhouse used to shoot three men, killing two, during a protest this summer in Kenosha, Wis.
Rittenhouse's lawyers argued that because he had allegedly acted in self-defense the bond should be set at $750,000. But Court Commissioner Loren Keating rejected that argument.
An Illinois state prosecutor said local police could find no evidence that Kyle Rittenhouse, 17, ever physically possessed the firearm in the state. An extradition hearing is set for Oct. 30.
Law enforcement officials are pushing back on suggestions that police showed deference to groups of armed whites at Black Lives Matter protests ahead of fatal shootings.
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 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.
