83rd and Villard stabbing scene
Following his arrest, the defendant was interviewed by Milwaukee detectives. The complaint says he "admitted stabbing the victim." Ike said on that day, he came home and "confronted the victim about damage to the defendant's TV that the defendant believed had been caused by the victim. The defendant said that he (the defendant) armed himself with a knife and poked it at the victim’s speakers, asking the victim words to the effect of how would he like it if he damaged the speakers. The victim did not react much to this, so the defendant then poured water onto the victim’s Xbox game player," the complaint says. That is when the victim did react -- and came towards the defendant as if to fight. The two went outside -- and that is when the victim punched the defendant twice, Ike told detectives, and he stabbed the victim.
