Overview
- The teen, mistakenly released over the weekend from juvenile custody, is back in detention after a rearrest confirmed by the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office.
- Prosecutors have charged the 14-year-old with armed robbery and felony murder in the killing of 35-year-old David Krause near 1st Street and Greenfield on April 14.
- A court commissioner had ordered the teen held after prosecutors and Krause's parents argued that detention was needed to protect the community and preserve evidence.
- A court document described the lapse as an "inadvertent release," and county agencies say they are reviewing how the error occurred.
- The District Attorney's Office said it is working with the Sheriff's Office to manage the case, and officials have not yet explained what led to the custody mistake.
