Why wasn't he in jail?
From jsonline, Milwaukee:
An 18-year-old man who is a convicted felon with a lengthy criminal record has been arrested in the playground shooting of a 10-year-old girl, Milwaukee police announced Monday.
The man previously has been arrested 15 times and was on probation at the time of the shooting that gravely wounded Sierra Guyton, 10, on the Clarke Street Elementary School playground on Wednesday, Police Chief Edward Flynn said.
The man's name was not released.
Police say the girl was caught in the crossfire when two people began shooting at each other. The chief said it was not clear whether the man who was arrested had fired the shot that hit Sierra, but Flynn called him a "very strong suspect" as the shooter. Investigators do not yet have the details of what prompted the shootout, he added....
The suspect in the playground shooting has racked up arrests for trespassing, battery, robbery and motor vehicle theft since the age of 12.
Most recently, he was charged with burglary as an adult. He pleaded guilty in 2013 and was sentenced to one year in jail, with credit for 127 days of time served. A judge postponed the jail time, instead placing the teen on probation for three years.
In February, the teen was a passenger in a car that came under gunfire. He was not wounded and did not cooperate with authorities.
On May 14, he was shot on W. Center St., although police did not provide any other details. A week later, Sierra was shot on the playground.
The teen was identified as a suspect within 12 hours of the shooting, and officers spent three days trying to find him, Flynn said. He was arrested in Milwaukee late Sunday. http://www.jsonline.com/news/crime/new-developments-in-playground-shooting-to-be-announced-at-430-pm-b99278118z1-260682381.html
Sadly, the girl is brain dead, with little hope of a recovery.
There are some people on this planet who are animals and not real human beings and this thug is one of them.
