  • Wisconsin Dentist Fatally Shot by Neighbor in Argument Over Loud Music

    Wisconsin Dentist Fatally Shot by Neighbor in Argument Over Loud Music

    A well-known dentist in Wisconsin was fatally shot in his apartment building by a neighbor following a disagreement about loud music, as reported by the NY Post.

    The suspect, Keionna McGowan, is facing charges for allegedly shooting her neighbor, Dr. Akintunde Bowden, after he reportedly asked her to lower her music on April 19, per WISN 12. The 27-year-old was in her northern Milwaukee apartment listening to music when she heard a loud knock on her front door, according to the criminal complaint reviewed by WISN 12.

    McGowan’s Account

    McGowan told the police that she saw Bowden, 41, behaving aggressively and suspected he was “intoxicated.” She claimed that she opened her door and agreed to turn down her music, but this did not de-escalate the situation. According to McGowan, she shut the door, but Bowden kicked it. She then grabbed a gun, reopened the door, and shot at him when he attempted to kick it again, as reported by WISN 12.

    When officers from the Brown Deer Police Department arrived, McGowan was reportedly outside her Park Plaza Court apartment building yelling, “He’s in my house, number 207.” Authorities found Bowden lying face down in the doorway of McGowan’s apartment and pronounced him dead at the scene. 

    The autopsy report from the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office indicated that the dentist died from a single gunshot wound to his lower abdomen. On Thursday, McGowan was charged with second-degree reckless homicide while using a dangerous weapon.

    Bowden’s brothers, Adeniji and Ogbonna, who are both dentists, recalled his deep passion for his patients, noting that he dedicated over a decade to offering dental care to those who couldn’t afford it. “He always reached for people that didn’t have as much or didn’t have what we consider a fair chance,” Ogbonna told CBS 58.

  • Mom Arrested For Kicking Her 12-Year-Old Out Of The Car and Forcing Him To Walk Along Busy Highway After Argument About Grades

    Mom Arrested For Kicking Her 12-Year-Old Out Of The Car and Forcing Him To Walk Along Busy Highway After Argument About Grades

    A Wisconsin mother was arrested for kicking her 12-year-old son out of her car and making him walk nearly two miles along a busy highway, per Law & Crime. She has since been released on bail.

    Flor Escalante was charged with felony child abandonment and a misdemeanor charge for child neglect on November 7. Escalante reportedly got into a heated argument with her son about his grades during the drive to his tutoring center.

    Escalante stopped the car on the side of the I-94 highway, told her son to get out, and told him to walk the rest of the way to the tutoring center. According to reports from Milwaukee Fox affiliate WITI, there were multiple calls from drivers who reported

    “a 10- or 12-year-old on the shoulder crying,”

    and

    “He doesn’t know his mom or dad’s name. We’re going to be setting up a post.” 

    When the police arrived at the boy, it was already dark and rush hour traffic was heavy. The temperature had dropped to around 50 degrees, and the boy wasn’t dressed for the cold and didn’t have access to a phone to call anyone for help. He told the officers that he was walking to the Sylvan Learning Center where his mom was waiting for him. The police took him to the center and then arrested Escalante, bringing her to the Waukesha County Sheriff’s Department for questioning.

    She told officers that her son

    “didn’t appreciate everything [she] did for him,”

    which is the reason she made him walk

    “so he can understand what labor is,”

    according to the criminal complaint. The complaint also stated that while Escalante was

    “visibly upset about the situation,”

    she

    “did not seem to grasp the recklessness and negligent nature of her actions.”

    She was released on $500 bail.

    24-Year-Old Elementary School Teacher Arrested For ‘Making Out’ With 5th Grader

    A Wisconsin elementary school teacher, Madison Bergmann, aged 24, was apprehended for engaging in inappropriate behavior with a fifth-grade student. The incident was discovered when the student’s mother overheard a conversation between her 11-year-old son and the teacher. She also discovered text messages between them. The boy’s father confronted the teacher at River Crest Elementary School, per the New York Post. 

    The disturbing text messages exchanged by Bergmann allegedly involved discussions about multiple inappropriate meetings that took place

    “inside the classroom during lunch or after school.” 

    She is accused of expressing enjoyment when the child touched her and engaging in

    “making out”.

    Cops discovered a folder in her bag with the victim’s name on it, which contained numerous handwritten notes detailing their kissing experiences, according to the charges.

    The teacher wrote a letter

    “One of my cousins is in the 5th grade and I can’t imagine a man talking to her how we talk. I know we have a special relationship and I do love you more than anyone in the world but I have to be the adult here and stop,”

    she wrote in the letter.

    The duration of the abuse is uncertain, but Bergmann informed investigators that she received the boy’s phone number from his mother back in December. They had invited her, thinking she was a trusted teacher, to join them for winter break at Afton Alps. Reports added that she got engaged to her longtime boyfriend that same month, per her social media. When questioned about the text messages between her and the child, Bergmann chose to exercise her right to an attorney, as stated in the document.

    After her arrest, the woman was put on administrative leave and prohibited from communicating with any students, parents, or staff of the school district. Bergmann is charged with first-degree child sexual assault.

  • Woman Accidentally Shot In The Buttocks While Entering An MRI Machine With A Loaded Gun

    Woman Accidentally Shot In The Buttocks While Entering An MRI Machine With A Loaded Gun

    Doctors were left scratching their heads when a woman from Wisconsin found herself with an extra pair of holes in her backside after she slid into an MRI with a loaded gun. 

    According to records from the Food and Drug Administration, the 57-year-old unknowingly brought a loaded firearm into an MRI machine during a routine doctor’s visit in June, per The Post. As she was being loaded into the machine’s bore, the

    “powerful magnets”

    activated, causing the metal trigger to accidentally trip and the gun to discharge, reports reveal. 

    “Patient received a gunshot wound in the right buttock area,”

    the Use of Device Problem report submitted by the woman’s insurance company to the FDA in July read.

    “The patient was examined by a physician at the site who described the entry and exit holes as very small and superficial, only penetrating subcutaneous tissue.”

    The woman received medical treatment for her injuries and has fully recovered from the incident. It remains unclear how she managed to bring a weapon into the MRI room. The report states that she underwent a routine screening for metal objects before entering and claimed to have none on her.

    According to the outlet, MRI machines, which utilize strong magnetic fields to produce images of the human body, require patients to remove all metal objects due to the intense magnetism. Additionally, all items entering the machine rooms are carefully monitored to prevent everyday objects from becoming dangerous weapons.

  • Kenosha Police Pepper-Sprayed Black Father and Baby Inside An Applebee’s In Mistaken Arrest

    Kenosha Police Pepper-Sprayed Black Father and Baby Inside An Applebee’s In Mistaken Arrest

    Police in Kenosha, Wisconsin are under fire after reportedly pepper-spraying a young Black father and his baby at an Applebee’s restaurant, per Insider.

    The incident occurred while officers were searching for a hit-and-run suspect, but mistakenly targeted Jermelle English Jr. and his partner Shayna Boyd instead. Video footage shows a bystander pleading for someone to protect the baby as police restrain English. 

    Charges of disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, obstructing an officer, and possession of marijuana were filed against English and Boyd. The family’s attorney, Kevin O’Connor, has called for an investigation by the Justice Department and for the charges to be dropped. With the experienced trauma that the family has faced they now feel that

    “being Black and being out here and having dinner is not safe enough for them,”

    O’Connor revealed at a press conference. 

    “This was no accident,”

    O’Connor said in the press conference.

    “What is the first thing that officers are taught? To de-escalate a situation.”

    Tanya McLean, executive director of local social justice nonprofit Leaders of Kenosha, criticized the police for not releasing all body camera footage of the incident. The incident, which took place on July 20, coincided with the third anniversary of the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man shot seven times during a traffic stop in Kenosha in 2020. The Kenosha Police Department has not responded to Insider’s requests for comment.

  • Private School Teacher Allegedly Sexually Assaulted Teen In Park, Gifted Him Gun For Birthday

    Private School Teacher Allegedly Sexually Assaulted Teen In Park, Gifted Him Gun For Birthday

    A private Christian school teacher in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, has been accused of sexually assaulting an eighth-grade student, per the NY Post. 

    The alleged perpetrator, Tyesha Bolden, 34, reportedly had an inappropriate relationship with the boy, which included exchanging over 2,200 text messages, some of which contained explicit content. Bolden has been released on a $2,500 bond after being charged with second-degree child sex assault and providing a dangerous weapon to a child.

    According to police, in June, Bolden took the boy to a wooded park, where the assault is said to have occurred. The victim later revealed that he asked Bolden to buy him a Glock 19 handgun, as he felt the need for protection. Shockingly, Bolden not only purchased the gun and ammunition but also gifted it to the teenager for his 14th birthday, along with some books.

    The situation came to light when the victim’s parents discovered inappropriate photos, including a topless selfie of Bolden, on their son’s phone. In July, the teen asked Bolden for money and another gun, but she only provided the money. Shortly after, the victim went missing, and it was suspected that he might be staying at Bolden’s residence. Police located him in possession of the same gun his teacher had bought him.

    Upon learning of the allegations against Bolden, the school promptly fired her. 

    If convicted, she could face up to 40 years in prison.
