Milwaukee teen gets 22 years for 12-year-old's fatal shooting

A judge sentenced a Milwaukee teen to more than two decades in prison for his role in the fatal shooting of a 12-year-old girl as she helped her family unload groceries outside their home last year, a newspaper reported Friday.

Prosecutors charged 18-year-old Benjamin Garrett and 17-year-old Cornell Henard, saying one of them opened fire on Olivia Schultz and her mother, Celeste Wilson, in October. Garrett pleaded guilty in March to first-degree reckless homicide and first-degree reckless endangerment, and was sentenced Thursday to 22 years in prison, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported. Henard is scheduled to be tried in July.

The proceeding was delayed about 45 minutes after Garrett and Olivia's families got into a fight outside the courtroom. About 40 people in the courtroom rushed into the hall to take part in the fight before sheriff's deputies could break it up, the newspaper reported. The judge resumed the hearing after ordering everyone except Garrett and Olivia's parents and reporters to leave the courthouse.

According to prosecutors, Olivia's family had just returned from grocery shopping on Oct. 10 when two masked teens approached them in the alley behind their home. After Wilson's husband went inside, one of the teens pulled out a gun. Wilson pleaded with him not to do anything and the teens kept on walking. They were about four houses away when one of the teens opened fire on the family. Wilson was hit in the back and Olivia was killed.

Police couldn't determine who fired on the family. Prosecutors brought identical charges against Garrett and Henard. Henard contends that Wilson's husband, Darryl Schultz, came out from the house with a gun and started shooting at the teens. Darryl Schultz has said he only got his gun after the teens opened fire, according to the report.

Garrett apologized to the family in court. His mother, Teisha McCoy, said his father left when he was a toddler and he struggles with poor mental health. She said that she kicked him out of their home for "disrespect."

Angels' Anthony Rendon avoids charges from altercation with fan: report

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon will reportedly not be charged after getting into an altercation with a fan in March.

After an opening day 2-1 loss to the lowly Oakland Athletics, Rendon was caught on camera gripping an A's fan by his shirt and swinging an open hand toward the fan's head.

It's unclear exactly what sparked the confrontation, but Rendon claimed the fan called him a b----.

The LA Times reports that the case is closed after police investigated a misdemeanor assault and misdemeanor battery.

"What'd you say? You called me a b----, huh? Yeah you did. Yeah you did. Yeah motherf-----," Rendon told the fan while gripping his shirt.

That's when Rendon let go of his grip and then tried to swipe at the fan's A's hat.

Angels teammate Mike Trout watched the war of words, but everyone walked away before things got worse.

Rendon was suspended four games for the incident.

"My emotions got the best of me," Rendon said in April. "I’m usually pretty good about interacting with fans … have fun with it. But the gentleman, we spoke on the phone, and we both apologized about what had happened. And so we’re both ready to move forward."

Since he signed a seven-year, $245 million deal with the Angels in 2019, Rendon has struggled to stay on the field due to injuries. He signed his contract after his only All-Star season with the Washington Nationals, when he crushed 34 homers, 44 doubles and knocked home 126 runs with a .319 average.

Rendon is again on the injured list with a left groin strain. In his 30 games played before the injury, he was hitting .301 with a homer, 20 RBIs and a .784 OPS.

Since joining the Angels, he's played in just 184 games and has hit .259 with a .780 OPS.
