RACINE, WI – A Wisconsin man charged with fatally shooting a 17-year-old in Racine told investigators he was from West Chicago and that type of behavior was “just normal” there, according to a criminal complaint.
Joshua Daniel, 18, was charged on Monday with first-degree intentional homicide and nine counts of first-degree recklessly endangering safety after prosecutors say he pulled out a gun and shot and killed a teen at a party last Friday.
Daniel told police that he thought people at the party were going to shoot him and that such behavior is normal in his hometown of West Chicago, according to the criminal complaint.
The complaint said Daniel went to a party with three women who he told police he believed were “setting him up.”
The complaint said that Daniel shot Bush “because he was ‘smiling and looking’ at him.” Daniel said he felt someone else was going to shoot him so he shot Bush first, the complaint said.
None of the three witnesses said they saw the victim with a weapon. The witnesses ran from the home following the shooting, according to prosecutors.

That's the stupidest thing I've read in some while.
This scumbag's "life is destroyed?"
Passive tense?
There is no life in him, no purpose, nothing other than death.
He is death walking upright with only the goal of killing others or himself.
He would have served better in the sales ring at the stockyards across town.
Still a human being that could have been a productive citizen, but instead was wasted because he was misled or taken off the right path by a culture today that is destructive and even condones these ideas. Do you think had you met this kid when he was 4, that he was evil?
He wasn’t born genetically predestined to commit these crimes. You do have a mostly broken community (kids out of wedlock / high divorce rates / don’
t value education) where the thug image is condoned and even advertised. You have entire communities today where you have multi-generations living off the government, with their own minority leaders pandering to them based entirely on identity (not to be confused with race)...
What do you want to bet, both the kid doing the killing and the kid killed had a mom and no dad in their life? This is a failure of our society where thousands of young men are in a similar situation and we dare not say anything. Why do you think the era of big growth for gangs corresponds to about the time when kids started growing up in large numbers without a father? Of course that doesn’t change the fact that you now have a mean and biting dog that you need to deal with. Another wanna bee 18 year old bad ass that has a vast collection of pretend bad ass hip hop music... but now he’ll get his bona fides as a thug wearing over sized droopy prison pants without a belt. Someone should have told him that most of those bad asses he adores and wants to emulate in his subculture are all frauds, fakes (part of their image to sell a product)... I’m sure he can speak the jive and twist his hands in some weird way to show his affiliation with some group of retards... But maybe he shouldn’t despair, he can now get someone to give him one of those tear drop tats on his face, for free!
Yes, it’s a total waste. Sure one guy is the bad guy, but even his life is wasted.
"A failure of society?"
"We dare not?"
Go eff a big pile of that, Lebron.
