Plea deal reached: What does it mean for Bradley Tech student accused?

MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- One of four teens charged with robbery (use of force) has reached a plea deal in the case against him. The teens are accused of attacking a man on the city's east side on November 1st, 2013.

All four of the teens were students at Bradley Tech High School at the time of the incident -- and three were on the school's basketball team.

The most recent individual to reach a plea deal in this incident is 18-year-old Martis Shanks of Milwaukee. He has pleaded guilty to the robbery charge against him.

Two of the other teens charged in the case have previously reached plea deals.

18-year-old Dontarrion Brown of Milwaukee pleaded "no contest" and was subsequently found guilty.

He will be sentenced on June 16th.

18-year-old Justin Goodwin of Milwaukee pleaded guilty.

He will be sentenced on June 19th.

19-year-old Latrell Katherine of Milwaukee is set to stand trial in the case. He has a final pre-trial hearing set for May 5th.

According to the criminal complaint, the four teens went to Milwaukee’s east side on November 1st, 2013 “to find someone to rob.” They allegedly approached a man on a skateboard on N. Bartlett Ave. just south of E. Park Pl.

The complaint indicates that the four teens ran out from between two cars in front of 2628 N. Bartlett and pushed a man off his skateboard — causing him to fall. The victim told police he got up and ran a short distance after falling; however, the four teens eventually caught him, and began punching him in the body and head.

According to the complaint, the suspects knocked the man to the ground and continued to punch and kick him — and told him to empty his pockets. During the altercation the victim allegedly took out his wallet, cell phone and cigarettes and threw them in the street.

According to the complaint, the suspects took everything except the phone. Brown apparently told investigators he did it because he owes his brother $1,200 from a car purchase.

If convicted, each of those charged faces up to 15 years in prison and $50,000 in fines.
