A 21-year-old Milwaukee man beat a 15-year-old boy with a hammer, stabbed him in the neck and burned his body over a stolen video game system, prosecutors said in charging documents Tuesday.
Police arrested Malik Terrell in Chicago on Monday, a day after Dennis King’s burned remains were found in an abandoned Milwaukee house. King’s family had reported him missing May 11.
Terrell and his two younger siblings thought a friend of King’s stole their video game system and believed King had been involved, prosecutors said in the criminal complaint charging Terrell with first-degree intentional homicide, which carries a life sentence.
