A fight over a woman led to a July 18 shooting, which left one person injured and nearby homes peppered with bullets, according to court records.
Prosecutors allege that Fabian Johnson, 23, became upset with a 29-year-old Kenosha man over a woman they both knew. On the afternoon of July 18, the man said he was walking in the 6100 block of 20th Avenue when he observed a tan Volvo on the east side of the road driven by Johnson.
That’s when, according to court records, Johnson yelled out the man’s name and pointed a revolver at him, firing it five or six times and hitting him in the thigh. One bullet entered a nearby house, going into a child’s bedroom. Area residents said the shooting sounded “like fireworks.”
On Tuesday, Johnson, a felon, was charged with attempted first degree intentional homicide, two counts of discharging a firearm from a vehicle, and illegally possessing of a firearm. If convicted, he could be sentenced to more than 40 years in prison.
Johnson will appear in court Aug. 11 for a preliminary hearing. He is being held on a $250,000 cash bond. The man shot was treated at a local hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.
In 2013, Johnson was convicted of second-degree recklessly endangering safety and sentenced to two years in prison and four years extended supervision.
