Man Shoots Brother For Wearing His Clothes

Victim was transported via Flight for Life after being shot in the femur.

 

A Menomonee Falls man is facing charges after he allegedly shot his brother with a shotgun inside a Brown Deer home because he was upset about him wearing his clothes and jewelry.

Duvante A. Taylor, 20, was charged in Milwaukee County Circuit Court Friday with one count first-degree reckless endangerment of safety and bail jumping. If convicted, he faces up to 13 years in prison and $35,000 in fines.

According to the criminal complaint:

Taylor and his brother were inside a home in the 6100 block of West Donges Lane Monday when he became upset with his brother for wearing his clothes and jewelry. Taylor then grabbed a 12 gauge shotgun and shot his brother in the femur while he was inside his bedroom.

The victim had to be taken to the hospital via Flight for Life due to the severity of his injuries. His brother did survive, however.

Taylor is currently being held in Milwaukee County Jail on $5,000 cash bond.

Guess he was worried his brother may ruin his pants, as it turns out he ruined a perfectly good pair of jeans.

Nothing to laugh about hear. If he was taken by flight for life, it was quite serious.

Also, I looked him up on CCAP because I figured he had other stuff on his record. He is listed as being born in 1991 making him 20, not 25.

The article clearly states he is 20. I am not sure how you misinterpreted the phrase:
"Duvante A. Taylor, 20, was charged in Milwaukee County Circuit Court Friday..."

Remember folks, below the belt is not attempted murder.

Obviously most of the people who blog on here are just a bunch of jokesters.

How would you like your foot shot off Nate?

Nate I agree. But if there was better aim, she would have no relations with him at all. True dat.
Maybe she will learn proper use of grammer.

Me thinks Craig and Nate are really good drinking buddies or something! Wow. Look at your comments and I do not only mean regarding this subject.

Are you grown adults? I'm done with you guys and the patch. They need to hit the edit button.

I thinks the shooter was a jewel thief.
Nothing worse than stealing the family jewels.

Considering this guy's pants may very well have been to the ground, are the reports accurate that he was indeed shot in the leg or perhaps the foot? In that case at least his Rockawear underpants received no damage.

Laugh all you want about this, but this guy lives in our community. If he'll shoot at his brother he'll shoot at any body.

It's obvious to me from reading past comments of yours Craig that you can't stand when someone doesn't agree with you. And now you've resorted to calling the grammer police. Watch your typing now Craig, I'll be keeping a close watch.

We don't laugh at the victims so much as we do these bonehead criminals. Criminals deserve are scorn and this is how we serve them. We, of suburbia, scoff at these fools.

Steve, who is your question directed to? I certainly hope it's not me as I never said anything about shooting anyone. The only reference I made was about the shooter shooting his own brother. It's just not something I consider a joking matter.

Nate can scoff at this fool if he hopes that will help keep him safe when the guy is back in the Falls with his gun.

Well then I guess the next three names I will be reading about in the police reports are Steve, Nate and Craig. That one I may crack a few jokes about.

I am pretty sure you lost your credibility when you said you ran him through CCAP, and went on to say he is 20, not 25 like the article states. (Doh!)
Yet on another thread you chastize another person for using CCAP to check for ciminal records and probations status of recall signatures.
You are worried the shooter is going to come back to the Falls with his gun, I would be worried he will get a lefty judge who allows a slap on the wrist in leu of incarceration.

Craig, you obviously have me mixed up with someone else. I never made ANY comments on anything regarding the recall elections. Please check your facts as it wasn't me. Also, glad your perfect and have never made a mistake on a blog when spelling or misreading. Wish I was perfect, but I'm not.

Also, you may want to get your grammer police over to the comments about Herb Kohl. I believe your buddy Nate made a boo boo. Are you going to correct it or do you just do that to people that don't agree with you?

I'll be waiting for an apology regarding the goof up you've made about me on the recall signatures. I haven't made a comment on it at all. Frankly I'm sick of the whole political BS and can't wait until it all ends.

I see someone deleted Steve's comment. Probably a good idea.

Sweet. My comments about our mission is deleted but the one about us getting shot is saved.

Reminds me when Heather left the comment about Craig and I getting "roped"

Someone else is stealing my bit looking up people on CCAP? BTW, I have no plans for hunting criminals even if Paul Kernsey is my hero.

Steve, it was in reference that you were going to try to take on bad guys by yourselves. I figured you'd get in trouble doing that and I'd be reading about it. I believe the police are better at it and we should leave it to them.
