Missing Boy Milwaukee body found after being swept into Milwaukee drainage ditch
The body of a 12-year-old boy who was swept away by floodwaters in Milwaukee has been found, and his father has been charged with homicide.
Antonio Wade was playing near a drainage ditch on the city’s north side on Monday when he was swept away by the fast-moving waters. His body was found Tuesday evening about a mile from where he was last seen.
Wade’s father, 36-year-old Demetrius Williams, has been charged with first-degree reckless homicide and child neglect resulting in death. He is being held on $500,000 bail and is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday.
Prosecutors say Williams was aware of the dangers posed by the drainage ditch but did not take steps to prevent his son from playing near it. If convicted, he faces up to 60 years in prison.
