Alex Dixon, charged in the fatal shooting of a pregnant Milwaukee teenager, pleads guilty

 

A guilty plea this morning from one of two men charged in the fatal shooting of a pregnant Milwaukee teenager.

Prosecutors say 18-year-old Alex Dixon and another man fired into a home near 35th and Silver Spring last December, killing 15-year Melanie Johnson.

They had been in a dispute with Johnson's brother.

In exchange for the guilty plea, prosecutors reduced the charge from First to Second Degree Reckless Homicide.

Dixon will be sentenced on July 7th.
