Prosecutors say Milwaukee teen charged in Juneteenth shooting also fatally shot 9-year-old a week earlier

Prosecutors say a Milwaukee teen shot and killed a 9-year-old boy while attempting to shoot at another teen, who he fatally shot a week later after a Juneteenth festival .

Seventeen-year-old Damarion Glenn is charged with first-degree reckless homicide in the June 13 shooting of the Milwaukee boy, Jonael Zambrano , according to a criminal complaint filed on Friday. He's also charged with first-degree intentional homicide in the June 19 shooting of Sherrone D. Thornton Jr .

Christian Hubanks, 16, is also charged with first-degree reckless homicide in Zambrano's death. Hubanks is not facing charges related to the killing of Thornton.

The Milwaukee County District Attorney's criminal complaint connects the two incidents through Glenn.

The latter occurred after the Juneteenth Peace Day MKE at Washington Park on June 19. Organizers faced criticism for the handling of the event, which they ended early, but defended their actions and city officials largely supported the event's handling.

The June 13 shooting occurred at a condominium complex on the 9000 block of North Swan Road. Zambrano died after being taken to a hospital in critical condition.

The District Attorney’s office alleges in its criminal complaint that Hubanks and Glenn sought to shoot at Thornton's home at the condominium complex, after he had talked “crazy” about them. Prosecutors believe Hubanks and Glenn opened fire on the wrong home.

The two fired at least 11 shots into an apartment and killed the child, who had just finished his third grade year at Greater Holy Temple Christian Academy on the day he died. In an Aug. 14 police interview, Hubanks told authorities he and Glenn fired shots into Zambrano's residence, according to the complaint.

A prior July 16 police interview is cited in the document as well.

Someone identified by the initials "MAM" told police Glenn and Hubanks admitted to shooting at the Zambrano home. MAM told police Hubanks was “sick to his stomach” after learning what happened.

In the Aug. 14 police interview, Hubanks told police he knew that Glenn joined with Noah Shotwell, 15, in the shooting of Thornton Jr.

Shotwell was charged in late June with first-degree reckless homicide as a party to a crime in the shooting death of Thornton, telling police, "I had a gun. I shot the gun."

Shotwell later told police that Glenn was the person who shot and killed Thornton that day, with Shotwell seen on police drone footage shooting the victim second, according to the complaint.

Both Glenn and Hubanks also face additional charges of first-degree recklessly endangering safety as party to a crime.

An arrest warrant was issued for Glenn on Monday. He was not in custody late Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Hubanks has a preliminary hearing on Aug. 28. His bond was set at $300,000.

Onterio Girley, 17, also faces multiple charges related to the Juneteenth shooting, including first-degree reckless endangering safety, for firing shots which injured Shotwell in retaliation for the shooting of Thornton Jr., according to authorities. Girley’s next court appearance is on Sept. 5 for a scheduling conference.

Shotwell has his next court appearance, a preliminary hearing, on Thursday.
