Kyle Rittenhouse did not appear for his extradition hearing Friday as he faces charges of shooting and killing two people and injuring another in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Rittenhouse was charged with killing Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26; and injuring Gaige Grosskreutz, 26, during a protest Tuesday night. The 17-year-old is from Illinois — Kenosha is on the border with the other state — and will have to be extradited to Wisconsin to face six charges in the case, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. He requested his presence at the Friday hearing be waived as he hires a legal team, and so his extradition hearing was delayed for another 30 days.
