The father of 8-year-old Tiana Huddleston has been charged with reckless homicide and a weapon charge in the shooting death of his daughter.

Following the shooting, an 18-year-old person called 911 from the residence to inform authorities that a shooting just happened and Huddleston was on the way to a hospital with Tiana.
Huddleston shared with detectives that he had been drinking tequila and volunteered to give a blood sample, according to the complaint.
The Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office charged Huddleston with first-degree reckless homicide-use of dangerous weapon and possession of a firearm by a felon. If convicted, Huddleston faces up to
70 years in prison.

KENOSHA - A man accused of killing three people and wounding three others in an April shooting at a bar in Kenosha County was found guilty Tuesday.
The jury came back with the verdict less than two hours after the closing arguments in the trial of Rakayo Vinson, 25, who was charged in the deaths of 24-yearold Cedric Gaston, 26-year-old Atkeem Stevenson and 22-year-old Kevin Donaldson, all of Kenosha.
Authorities said Vinson and Donaldson exchanged punches earlier in the evening at the Somers House Tavern in the Village of Somers. Surveillance video later shows Vinson walking to the patio of the bar and opening fire before fleeing. He exchanged gunfire outside the tavern with Donaldson, who later died at a hospital.
Vinson was convicted of three counts of first-degree intentional homicide and three counts of attempted first-degree intentional homicide.
A sentencing hearing is set for March 28.
