– The 17-year-old who allegedly shot and killed two black men during a protest in Kenosha, Wis., last month will fight his extradition from Illinois, his lawyer says. Kyle Rittenhouse, who is charged with two counts of intentional homicide, one count of reckless homicide, and one count of attempted homicide, appeared in court via video link from an Illinois detention facility, where he is being held, Reuters reports. At the hearing, one of Rittenhouse’s lawyers said his client would fight the extradition. “We intend to challenge extradition by writ of habeas corpus,” he told the judge. “In fact, these are going to be involving issues of some complexity. Frankly, they have not arisen in the country for some time.” Rittenhouse, who traveled to Kenosha from Antioch, Ill., after the police shooting of a black man there, was charged after the Aug. 25 deaths of Anthony Huber, 26, and Joseph Rosenbaum, 36. A third man, Gaige Grosskreutz, was shot but survived. Rittenhouse’s legal team has said he feared for his life when he fired his semi-automatic rifle. Cellphone videos from the night show chaotic scenes, including one where Rittenhouse is chased and falls down before his encounter with Huber and Grosskreutz. Huber appeared to hit Rittenhouse in the shoulder with a skateboard and tried to grab his rifle before being shot, according to the criminal complaint. Rittenhouse then pointed the rifle at Grosskreutz, who had a hand gun, and fired. Rosenbaum appears to have thrown a plastic bag at Rittenhouse before he was shot.
