From WGTD News:
A Kenosha judge says the evidence against a 36-year-old man accused in the shooting death of a man on the city's north side four years ago was "overwhelming." Judge Angelina Gabriele made the comment as she convicted Tiron Washington of 1st Degree Intentional Homicide in the death of 35-year-olds Maximillion Moore Monday. The verdict came following a rare, nine-day 'bench' trial held last month in which the judge--and not a jury--heard the testimony and weighed the evidence. The case was even more unusual in that Washington insisted on acting as his own attorney. Gabriele said the testimony showed that Washington was trying to prevent Moore from testifying against him in a gun case. Cooperating with law enforcement, Moore had sold a gun to Washington, a convicted felon. Washington ambushed Moore as he returned home early one morning. Washington claimed during the trial that police planted evidence and framed him. Sentencing is scheduled for later this month. The conviction carries a mandatory life term, although Gabriele could set a parole eligibility date. Meanwhile, a man who purportedly was with Washington at the time of the shooting is expected to be sentenced Wednesday for his role.

A 22-year-old man accused of firing a gun that killed a 37-year-old Racine woman made his first appearance in a Racine courtroom Monday following his arrest last month in Arkansas. According to the criminal complaint, Lance Moore may have been shooting in the direction of rival gang members when Chala Davis Bell was hit when she was entering a bar with a friend last summer. Moore is facing charges of endangering safety and bail jumping.
