MILWAUKEE -- 30-year-old Jamarr Hicks pleaded guilty this week to obstructing an officer in connection with the shooting death of 16-year-old Emani Robinson. That crime happened near 39th and Center on June 25, 2017.
According to a criminal complaint, Robinson was shot in the head in this case. He died a day after the shooting. Police learned Hicks was the driver of a car that was tied to the shooting.
This week, Hicks pleaded guilty to an amended charge of obstructing an officer. He was previously charged with harboring or aiding a felon. Hicks was sentenced to time served.
Prosecutors say another person, Tomaz Robinson admitted to the shooting, saying he was confronted as he exited a store where the shooting happened. He claimed one of the people in front of the store shot at him, so he shot back.
