Kenosha Prosecutor Carli McNeill In Court Friday

Kenosha Prosecutor Carli McNeill, in court Friday, gave the public the first details about what happened late Monday. McNeill asked Kenosha County Circuit Court Commissioner William Michel II to allow the DA’s office until Tuesday, June 4, 2024 to file a criminal complaint against Alia. She told the court that the charge she is expecting to issue is “Harboring or Aiding a Felon.” According to the Kenosha County Sheriff’s jail roster, Alia was at one point, holding in the jail for “Homicide by Negligent Handling of a Dangerous Weapon.” According to the roster Sunday, however, the DA’s office did not issue the recommended charge, which was likely recommended as a “party to the crime.”

McNeill said the actual shooter is a Kenosha man named David Chism. Chism is a multiple-convicted felon and was already wanted at the time of the shooting. Chism, 18, was convicted of at least one felony as a juvenile.

On March 14, 2022, when Chism was 16 years old, he was caught by police with a concealed handgun. He was charged with possession of a firearm by a felon, carrying a concealed weapon, and possessing a dangerous weapons by a child. He was given no jail time, but four years of probation by Judge Angelina Gabriele. The Wisconsin Department of Corrections will likely revoke Chism’s probation and send him to prison two years with another two years of extended supervision.

At the time of the fatal shooting, Chism was wanted for an armed robbery that allegedly took place on January 19, 2024. He allegedly robbed a man in his own home at gunpoint. He was caught because he took an uber to and from the robbery and his friend ratted him out. He was charged on February 22, 2024 and a warrant was issued for $25,000 cash.

According to what was said in court Friday:

On May 27th, 2024 a little after 8pm, multiple people heard a gunshot in the home on 36th Ave and several witnesses came to see what happened. They encountered a dead, or dying, 16-year-old male. Investigators on this case learned from several witnesses that Alia and another individual, who was later identified as David Chism, ran from the scene immediately after the shooting occurred. Alia was apprehended in the early morning hours. He gave two interviews to detectived and told them that he and Chism immediately fled the seen and searched for a place to hide. He has informed detectives of what occurred that led to the tragic death. He said he, David Chism, and the victim, were all seated side by side in the home. Alia said Chizm was manipulating a firearm and that he was removing the magazine from the firearm and when he did so the firearm fired one shot, which hit the victim. After they both fled, Alia ended up at a hotel, which KCE knows to be the Holiday Inn. KCE also is aware that there was a warrant executed at a room at the hotel. Alia ditched his phone, which police think contain evidence.

Alia has been adjudicated for a theft in a 2020 filing here in Kenosha, carrying a concealed weapon in a different 2020 case, he also has a couple of disorderly conduct adjudications, with the most recent one being in 2022.

  3. “possession of a firearm by a felon”

    Always the first charge that is dropped or never punished to the “full extent of the law”. YET, liberals scream that they want even more gun laws.

  5. Sad thing is that chism absconded from his probation agent shortly after he was put on probation according to the doc website. If his agent actually did their job a crook would of been off the streets and a 16 year old would of still been alive. I blame the department of correction for dropping the ball on this one.
