Milwaukee stabbing, man found not guilty of reckless homicide
MILWAUKEE - A Milwaukee man who prosecutors said "admitted" to stabbing his own brother was found not guilty at trial on Thursday.

FREE DOWNLOAD: Get breaking news alerts in the FOX LOCAL Mobile app for iOS or Android The backstory A criminal complaint states officers arrived at the scene and found the victim lying in the street. He was taken to a hospital where he later died. The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office identified the victim as 27-year-old Kingsley Ike and determined he died as a result of two stab wounds. Court filings said Anslem Ike was also at the scene when officers arrived. Some citizens said Ike "stood by them and admitted that he had stabbed" his brother. Officers then arrested Ik and found a knife nearby, which he said was used in the stabbing. Following his arrest, Milwaukee police detectives interviewed Ike. Prosecutors said he "admitted" to stabbing his brother, who had punched him twice during a fight. The fight stemmed from a dispute over damage to a television, according to court filings. Ike said he had confronted his brother about the damage and poked his brother's speakers with a knife. When the victim didn't react, Ike said he poured water onto the victim's Xbox, and that's when the fight started. SIGN UP TODAY: Get daily headlines, breaking news emails from FOX6 News What they're saying Ike's legal team issued the following statement in response to Thursday's verdict: "Mr. Ike, his family, and all of us at Hartley Rauch are thrilled that justice was served this week.
