An autopsy Thursday could reveal more about what caused the death of a 20-year-old Milwaukee man who was in police custody.

A Milwaukee man accused of killing six people and injuring dozens more when he drove an SUV through the Waukesha Christmas parade pleaded not guilty Friday to scores of criminal charges.

A judge has approved an agreement by lawyers to destroy the assault-style rifle that Kyle Rittenhouse used to kill two people and wound a third during a 2020 street protest in Wisconsin.

Kyle Rittenhouse, the Illinois man acquitted of fatally shooting two men and wounding a third during street protests in Kenosha in 2020, has filed papers in court to recover property seized by police after his arrest, including the gun he used in the shootings.

Prosecutors have presented “ample” evidence to show Darrell Brooks Jr. probably committed felonies, Waukesha County Court Commissioner Kevin Costello said at the end of a preliminary hearing.

Prosecutors in Wisconsin brought the charges against Darrell Brooks, who is accused of killing six people and injuring dozens more when he allegedly drove his car into a Christmas parade in November.

The man who bought an AR-15-style rifle for Kyle Rittenhouse pleaded no contest Monday to a reduced charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor in a deal with prosecutors that allows him to avoid prison.

Theodore Edgecomb shot and killed local immigration attorney Jason Cleereman. Attorneys have said they'll be arguing self-defense.
