MILWAUKEE (WISN) — A Milwaukee jury found a security guard guilty of killing a man shoplifting snacks.
William Pinkin was found guilty on two counts, including first-degree intentional homicide.
Pinkin was working at the Clark gas station near Teutonia Avenue and Roosevelt Drive in 2023 when he shot Isaiah Allen for shoplifting snack cakes.
On the stand Thursday, Pinkin said he did not remember what happened the day of the shooting.
After the verdict, Pinkin asked the court to find him not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect. The court set a hearing for next month.
