After his arrest, the defendant was questioned by Milwaukee detectives. The indictment states that he admitted to stabbing the victim. Ike said that day he came home and confronted the victim about the damage to the defendant that he believed the victim had caused. The defendant said he (the defendant) armed himself with a knife and pointed it at the victim's speakers and asked the victim if he would like it if he damaged the speakers. The victim didn't respond much to that, so the defendant poured water on the victim's Xbox console,” the indictment states. Then the victim actually responded — and walked toward the defendant as if he wanted to fight. The two went outside — and then the victim hit the defendant twice, Ike told detectives, and he stabbed the victim.
