Kenosha gunman Kyle Rittenhouse arrested for murder after cops let him flee out of state – Raw Story
Prosecutors in Wisconsin have charged a 17-year-old with murder after two people were killed on Tuesday night during protests against Jacob Blake's shooting.
Kyle Rittenhouse, from Antioch, Illinois - 30 minutes drive from Kenosha, where Mr Blake was shot - was charged with first degree intentional homicide.
Lake County prosecutors described him as a "fugitive from justice", saying he had fled the scene.
Some reports on Wednesday however suggested he has been arrested.
Rittenhouse was caught on camera running from the scene and reportedly saying: "I just killed somebody."
Earlier in the evening a man identified on social media as Rittenhouse spoke to reporters in Kenosha and said he and other members of a militia had gathered by a petrol station to protect it from looting.
The man says he has been "pepper sprayed by a person in the crowd."
The interviewer says: "So you have non-lethals, but you just did not respond?"
He replies: "We don't have non-lethals."
The interviewer says: "So you guys are full-on ready to defend the property?"
"Yes we are," the man replies. "Now if I can ask, can you guys step back?"
