A 38-year-old man in Wisconsin has been arrested after he allegedly shot and killed the owner of a liquor and food store because he was angry about the way his pizza had been prepared.
Charles J. Leggett was taken into custody on Monday and charged with one count of first-degree reckless homicide using a dangerous weapon and one count of possession of a firearm by a felon convicted outside of Wisconsin in the slaying of 26-year-old Jamil I. Owies, court documents obtained by Law&Crime show.
According to a probable cause affidavit, officers with the Milwaukee Police Department at about 11:50 a.m. on Oct. 19 responded to a 911 call at Action Food and Liquor in the 3400 block of N. Dr. Martin Luther King Drive requesting an ambulance after hearing a gunshot and seeing the victim on the floor behind the counter.
Upon arriving at the scene, first responders located Owies suffering from what appeared to be a single gunshot wound to the chest. He was unresponsive and without a pulse. Officers attempted lifesaving measures until paramedics arrived, but their efforts were ultimately unsuccessful and Owies was pronounced dead on the scene.
