Kenosha violence: Juvenile arrested in deadly shooting amid Jacob Blake unrest, Illinois police say
A juvenile has been arrested in at least one of the two shooting deaths amid the unrest in Kenosha, Wis.
The teen shooter suspected to have killed two Kenosha protesters and injured a third on Tuesday night was photographed cleaning graffiti in the Wisconsin city just hours before the violence.
Kyle Rittenhouse, 17, of Antioch, Ill., reportedly had traveled to Kenosha to affiliate with a small but heavily armed militia that claimed to be helping law enforcement protect the city after the police shooting of Jacob Blake.
Before being filmed shooting protesters during the tense confrontation, Rittenhouse was spotted along with other volunteers cleaning graffiti from a high school near the Kenosha County Courthouse.

Later that night, a gunman carrying a rifle ‒ suspected to be Rittenhouse ‒ was caught in disturbing footage shooting protesters who had allegedly chased after him.
The protesters were reportedly in pursuit of Rittenhouse after another man was shot in the head.
Rittenhouse appears to be an avid supporter of the police, screenshots from his now-removed Facebook page show. One image of Rittenhouse posing with a rifle alongside another boy was uploaded with a “blue lives matter” frame.
