KENOSHA, Wis. (CNN) — The suspect in the Kenosha, Wisconsin, fatal shooting is facing multiple homicide charges, court records show.
Kyle Rittenhouse, 17, is accused of a single shooting incident during a night of unrest in Kenosha earlier this week that left two people dead and a third person seriously injured, authorities have said.
Since his arrest on Wednesday, the Antioch, Illinois, teenager had been charged with first-degree intentional homicide, Antioch Police said.
Prosecutors filed more charges against Rittenhouse on Thursday, adding one count of reckless homicide, a count for attempted intentional homicide and two counts of recklessly endangering safety.
Court records show he’s also being charged with possession of a dangerous weapon while under the age of 18, which is a misdemeanor.
