A 15-year-old Wausau boy charged with first degree reckless homicide in the Feb. 27 fatal stabbing of a Wausau 8th grader will head to trial. Marathon County judge Jill Falstad made the ruling Thursday during a preliminary hearing for Dylan Yang.
Jay Kronenwetter, Yang's defense attorney had asked Falstad to send the case to juvenile court with a charge of second degree reckless homicide. Falstad disagreed, saying the evidence supported a finding of probable cause and utter disregard for human life. Court documents state 13-year-old Isaiah Powell and Yang were in rival gangs.
Yang told detectives he saw 15 year old Isiah Powell fire a gun, went back inside to the kitchen and retrieved a knife.
