A Milwaukee resident has been charged with first-degree murder after fatally shooting an unarmed 13-year-old African-American boy who lived next door. The victim, Darius Simmons, was reportedly retrieving a garbage cart outside of his family home when the shooter, John Henry Spooner, approached him. Simmons’ mother says Spooner accused her son of stealing his property before opening fire. Simmons tried to run away but suffered a fatal gunshot wound to his chest.
