Pizza Order Leads Milwaukee Police to 12-Year-Old Homicide Suspect
CourtTV ^ | March 29, 2023 | Madison Goldbeck

A pizza receipt led police to the arrest of a 12-year-old suspect in a Milwaukee homicide. The boy has been charged with first-degree intentional homicide.

According to a criminal complaint, Brandon Felton, 34, was shot and killed on March 15. When police arrived at the crime scene, they found a Dominos receipt that had the boy’s phone number on it. Police ultimately got in contact with the boy’s mother who brought him in for questioning on March 18.

The boy initially denied murdering Felton. He said he and other kids who live on the street would play video games with Felton. But he said he was not at Felton’s house on March 15 and did not order food.

However, his story changed and he said he was at Felton’s when he was killed and that Felton’s friend “Sam” was there too, the complaint says. The three of them allegedly ordered Dominos and played video games before the homicide.

The boy told police that “Sam” then killed Felton and threatened to kill him too if he told anyone. After shooting Felton in the back of the head, “Sam” took an AR-15 rifle and a shotgun from Felton’s bedroom and left, the boy alleged. After the murder, the boy said his friend picked him up.

Detectives searched the boy’s phone and found text messages exchanged with a friend on March 9 discussing a plan to steal a shotgun and AR-15 style rifle, according to the complaint. The boy dropped a location pin, which was Felton’s residence.

On March 20, the boy’s mother told detectives that the boy lied to the police in his statement because he was scared. Instead, she said the boy went to Felton’s with his friends to buy Felton’s guns. The complaint says Felton was not going to sell the guns and they instead took them.

According to the complaint, text messages on the boy’s phone on March 15 read:

3/15/2023 3:31 p.m. – Defendant: “I’m gonna do it to Brandan”
3/15/2023 9:20 p.m. – Defendant: “Or should I kill him rm” (Sends follow-up text of “Rn” [right now])
3/15/2023 9:26 p.m. – Defendant: “Cuz I can belt him rn”
3/15/2023 9:27 p.m. – Defendant: “Cuz I can belt him blood”
3/15/2023 9:35 p.m. – Defendant: “I’m belting him don’t got time for dude going after my family”

The boy appeared in court Monday where his cash bond was set at $100,000. He will return for a preliminary hearing on April 4. If convicted, he faces a maximum of life in prison.

That boy was born bad

Maybe. Or maybe he was born to a woman who just wanted a child for welfare benefits, and otherwise did not care or pay attention to him.

A baby who never gets any love will grow up very twisted. We need to eliminate incentives to give birth to expendable babies by eliminating welfare.

Try to find the father? I wonder if they even know who he is or was?

I have seen young people with an evil look in their eyes, and have done evil things. I am convinced that some people are born bad.

Johnny was bad
Even as a child everybody could tell
Everyone said, “If you don’t get straight you’ll surely go to Hell”

But, Johnny didn’t care
He was an outlaw by the time that he was ten years old
He didn’t wanna do what he was told
Just a prankster
A juvenile gangster

His teachers didn’t understand
They kicked him out of school
At a tender early age just because
He didn’t want to learn things
Had other interests
He liked to burn things!

The lady down the block
She had a radio that Johnny wanted, oh, so bad
So he took it the first chance he had
And then he shot her in the leg
But this is what she said

Only A Lad
You really can’t blame him
Only A Lad
Society’s made him
Only A Lad
He’s our responsibility

Oh, ooh-oh
Only A Lad
He really couldn’t help it
Only A Lad
He didn’t wanna do it
Only A Lad
He’s underprivileged and abused
Perhaps a little bit confused
Oh-oh-oh, ooh-oh
Ooh, ooh-oh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-oh-ooh

His parents gave up
They couldn’t influence his attitude
Nobody could help
The little man had no gratitude

And when he stole the car
Nobody dreamed that he would try to take it so far
He didn’t mean to hit the poor man
Who had to go and die
It made the judge cry

Only A Lad
He really couldn’t help it
Only A Lad
He didn’t wanna do it
Only A Lad
He’s underprivileged and abused
Perhaps a little bit confused
Oh-oh-oh, ooh-oh

It’s not his fault that he can’t behave
Society’s made him go astray
Perhaps if we’re nice he’ll go away
Perhaps he’ll go away, he’ll go away

Only A Lad
You really can’t blame him
Only A Lad
Society made him
Only A Lad
Is he our responsibility?

Hey there Johnny
You really don’t fool me
You get away with murder and you think it’s funny
You don’t give a damn if we live or if we die
Oh-oh-oh, ooh-oh
Hey there Johnny boy
I hope you fry!
Ooh, ooh-oh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-oh-ooh

-Oingo Boingo

LOL. All of your pop culture references line up perfectly with my age group in Gen X.

Not trying to pry, but are you roughly 51?

Too bad he probably won’t get the death penalty!


Not only will he not get the death penalty (SCOTUS forbids it for those under 18, I believe Wisconsin doesn’t have the death penalty for anyone), depending on Wisconsin’s laws governing crimes committed by young minors, he quite possibly won’t do any time. If he is convicted as a juvenile, the most he will serve is until he turns 18, when he will be released with a clean record.

Instead, she said the boy went to Felton’s with his friends to buy Felton’s guns.

Ah......this was not a red flag at all to the mom about her 12 year old son???

With a bit of luck, he’ll never see the streets.

No one ever claimed stupid people are incapable of killing. In fact, those types excel at killing innocents.

He won’t. Wisconsin doesn’t have a death penalty.

“If convicted, he faces a maximum of life in prison.”

Be cheaper for all involved to just put a .22 in the back of his head after conviction.
