KENOSHA COUNTY (WQOW) - The man who purchased the gun Kyle Rittenhouse allegedly used in shootings that killed two in Kenosha earlier this year is now facing charges and court documents show the gun was bought in Ladysmith.
Dominick Black, 19, is charged with two counts of intentionally giving a dangerous weapon to a person under 18 causing death.
Black purchased a Smith & Wesson M&P 15 rifle from Ladysmith Ace Home Center up in Ladysmith on May 1, 2020.
The complaint says Black bought the gun with money from Rittenhouse with the intention of giving the gun to him.
Rittenhouse was 17 at the time and thus not of legal age to buy a gun in Wisconsin.
Rittenhouse and Black agreed the gun would be stored at Black's stepfather's home in Kenosha.
On August 23, Jacob Blake was shot in Kenosha which led to protests and riots in the city. »
