Sixteen-year-old Antonio Johnson has been charged as an adult with first-degree intentional homicide in the Oct. 1 fatal shooting of 15-year-old Rashied Schuelke in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Johnson appeared in court by video, where a judge set a $1 million cash bond with conditions including GPS-monitored house arrest, no weapons and no contact with Schuelke’s family. Investigators say surveillance video showed a person matching Johnson’s description fleeing the scene; a criminal complaint also describes a possible dispute over a firearm, though one witness said that explanation was hearsay. Johnson’s mother and brother were arrested on charges of harboring or aiding a felon in connection with the case. Police have described the shooting as isolated, and the investigation remains active.

Laos, which has gone more than 30 years without carrying out executions despite retaining capital punishment in law, was highlighted as an example of restraint as countries move toward abolition or narrower use of the penalty.
