"He needs to just answer for what he’s done," the Marshal said.
Prosecutors say on Aug. 8, three friends made a series of life-changing decisions that started near a Racine park. Investigators say 15-year-old Alexjandro Medina, 16-year-old Cincere Davis and 17-year-old Latrell Davis stole a Chevy Impala at gunpoint, making an even worse decision when they drove around.
"When they got into the car, someone in there mentioned they wanted to kill the first person that they came across," the investigator said.

Another man was injured but survived. Police on the scene found 40 bullet casings believed to be fired from the passenger side.
