An 8-year-old boy died Tuesday as a result of a man driving his SUV into a suburban Milwaukee Christmas parade, with a criminal complaint accusing the suspect in the case of steering side-to-side with the intent of striking marchers and spectators.
A mandatory life sentence is possible for DarrellBrooks Jr., if he is convicted of five counts of first-degree intentional homicide. He cried throughout his court hearing on Tuesday and his attorney held his arm on his back as the charges against him were detailed. His bail was set at $5 million and a preliminary hearing was set for January 14.
The nature of the offense is shocking.
Susan Opper, the District Attorney for the Waukesha County, said that there will be more charges coming later this week or next. The police had previously said 48 people were injured.
A police officer banged on the hood of a SUV that was being driven by the man accused of speeding away from police and entering the Christmas parade. The officer who fired the shots did not stop.
Five people ranging in age from 52 to 81 died within hours. Jackson was the first child to die from injuries. He was walking in the parade with his brother, who was injured in the crash, and was being discharged from the hospital.
The page's organizers wrote that Jackson died from his injuries and that they were sad.
The chaotic scene was captured in the city's video and bystander video. Several of the injured are in critical condition.
According to the criminal complaint, witnesses told police that the vehicle appeared to be moving side to side, with no attempt to slow down or stop, as it struck multiple people and sent bodies and objects flying.
According to the criminal complaint,Brooks ignored several attempts to stop him.
A detective wearing a police uniform and a neon orange safety vest yelled at the driver of the vehicle to stop, but he continued to drive.
A police officer who was wearing a uniform tried to get his attention by yelling "Stop, stop the vehicle" several times but was ignored. The complaint said that the driver had no emotion on his face when the officer looked at him.
The complaint said that he turned into the crowd when he braked at one point, but instead of turning away from the parade route, he sped up.
A police officer shot at the vehicle as it entered the parade route. The police chief said that the man was not hit by the bullets.
One witness told police that the SUV continued to drive in a zig zag motion. The SUV was trying to avoid cars. There was no attempt by the vehicle to slow down.
A domestic dispute that took place just minutes before he drove into the parade route was the reason why he was leaving the scene.
He was free on $1,000 bail for a case in Milwaukee County in which he is accused of striking a woman with his car. The bail recommendation in that case is being investigated by prosecutors.
Since 1999, he has been charged with crimes in Wisconsin, Georgia, and Nevada, and had two outstanding cases against him at the time of the parade disaster. Resisting or obstructing an officer, reckless endangering, disorderly conduct, bail jumping and battery were included.
Thompson said there was no evidence of a terrorist attack or that anyone knew anyone who was in the parade. The chief said that Brooks acted alone.
The doorbell camera footage was published by NBC News. It showed a cold, young man in a T-shirt, asking for a ride and knocking on a homeowner's door. The police surrounded the house and yelled, "Hands up!" He stood on the porch and said, "Whoa whoa!"
Hundreds of people gathered at a park in Wisconsin for a candle light ceremony to honor those who have died. Two clergy solemnly read the names of the dead. The volunteers handed out food and drinks at the event, which was attended by elected officials.
We are parents. We are not strangers. We are hurting. We are angry. We are sad. We are confused. We are grateful. We are all in this together. "We are Waukesha Strong", said a teary-eyed Medina.
The parade became a nightmare according to the mayor.
