Lake County prosecutors said that the gun Kyle Rittenhouse used in the Kenosha shooting was bought, stored and used in Wisconsin. No charges will be filed against him in Lake County.
Rittenhouse, 17, of Antioch, is facing charges in Wisconsin of first-degree intentional homicide, two counts of first-degree recklessly endangering safety, first-degree reckless homicide, attempted first-degree intentional homicide and possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18.
The Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office announced Tuesday that an extensive investigation was conducted by the Antioch Police Department.
The investigation revealed the gun used in the Kenosha shooting was purchased, stored and used in Wisconsin.
The Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office reviewed the investigation and determined no crimes were committed in Lake County.
Prosecutors said there is no evidence the gun was ever physically possessed by Rittenhouse in Illinois.
“I want to thank the Antioch Police Department for their diligence in investigating this matter,” Lake County State’s Attorney Michael Nerheim said.
Nerheim said that no additional details regarding the investigation will be released as to not disrupt the case in Wisconsin.
Rittenhouse remains held at Depke Juvenile Complex Center in Vernon Hills without bond on his Kenosha charges.
Rittenhouse, whose lawyers are fighting his extradition to Wisconsin, is due back in Lake County court on October 30 for an extradition hearing.
His lawyers have said that they are concerned for Rittenhouse’s safety if he were to be extradited to Wisconsin.
Rittenhouse is accused of shooting and killing Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26, on August 25 near 63rd Street and Sheridan Road in Kenosha.
