A jury has found Kyle Rittenhouse, who was charged with homicide after fatally shooting two people and injuring a third during protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last year, not guilty on all counts.

The jury's verdict was read on Friday after over three days of deliberations. Rittenhouse faced five charges, including reckless homicide, intentional homicide, and attempted intentional homicide after he fatally shot Anthony Huber and Joseph Rosenbaum and injured Gaige Grosskreutz amid unrest sparked by the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man, in 2020.
