kyle rittenhouse charges

A judge on Thursday refused prosecutors’ request to issue a new arrest warrant for an 18-year-old from Illinois who is accused of killing two people during a police brutality protest in Wisconsin last summer.

Prosecutors in Wisconsin have asked a judge to order an Illinois teen charged with killing two people and wounding a third in unrest following a police shooting to stay out of bars and away from violent white supremacist groups, saying he made a hand gesture adopted by those groups while out drinking.

The Illinois teen accused of killing two men during an August protest in Wisconsin pleaded not guilty in court Tuesday as Kenosha awaits a charging decision in the police shooting of a Black man that sparked the unrest.
