A Milwaukee woman went to a friend's house for dinner but never returned home. Prosecutors say a joke led to violence and that friend shot and killed her near 19th and Wright.
Jaster later admitted to detectives that he shot Beamon, per the complaint. He said they were friends and were "joking back and forth" that night before he became upset and told her to leave. When she refused, he said he shot her three times.
