75-year-old Milwaukee man accused of shooting his 13-year-old neighbor appeared in court Saturday morning.
John Spooner was charged late Friday afternoon with first-degree intentional homicide.
The court set Spooner's bail at $300,000, and he was ordered not to have any firearms and not to have contact with anyone at the victim's address.
The criminal complaint said Spooner admitted to police during his arrest that he shot Darius Simmons.
Charging documents detailed what witnesses say they saw the day of the shooting. The victim's mother, Patricia Larry, told police her son was retrieving the family's trash cans from in front of their house when Spooner approached him, saying he "wanted his stuff back" and that he "wanted his shotguns back."
Spooner accused Simmons of stealing from his home.
Larry said she then witnessed Spooner shoot her son in the chest.
According to the criminal complaint, when police arrived on scene Spooner said, "Yeah, I shot him."
WISN 12 News reporter Marianne Lyles found out that just an hour before the shooting, Spooner opened up about his frustrations with neighbors.
Milwaukee police said they recognized the area around 19th and Arrow streets address when the call came in about a man they said shot his teenage neighbor. Dispatch records obtained by WISN 12 News show the Spooner called 911 at least 15 times in five years, including four stolen guns after a break-in Tuesday.
