A 23-year-old charged with shooting
and killing a former Racine High School basketball star,
Kareem Ozier, made his second appearance in court today.
Our Racine Kenosha County reporter, Ben Hanson, was there.
He's got details on exactly what happened
and what's going to happen next in this case.
There was nearly 40 minutes of testimony
and cross-examination for Colin Wallace's case in court today.
He's the one charged with shooting and killing Kareem Ozier.
The commissioner found probable cause,
and now Wallace will stand trial.
Ozier was shot and killed in Racine near 12th
and Memorial on September 20th, just before 9 p.m.
According to the criminal complaint,
the altercation started from a minor traffic incident.
Today in court, Nicholas Contreras, a Racine Police Department
investigator who responded to the shooting, testified.
The defense seemingly questioned Contreras to support
the idea Wallace was acting in self-defense.
If what you're inferring is that Mr. Ozier recruited people
to come back across the street with him,
it did not appear that way on the video, no.
The defense persisted, and the prosecution objected.
Commissioner, this has been asked and answered.
He's just not answering it the way Attorney Cafferty wants him
to because it didn't happen that way.
Ozier's family was in court to watch. They were wiping back tears,
holding on to one another, and struggling to stay silent at times.
Based on the totality of that testimony,
I'm construing all inferences in the light most favorable to the state
and make finding the probable cause as to the charge alleged
and bind the defendant to stand trial.
I talked with Ozier's family after,
and they respectfully declined to talk on camera.
Wallace is expected back here in court for that trial on November 4th.
In Racine, Ben Hanson, Fox 6 News.
Thank you, Ben.
Well, a startling discovery in a Chinese takeout box has prompted
the restaurant where it came from to voluntarily shut down.
