Brookfield Man Charged in Alleged Drive-By Shooting

A Brookfield man, 19, told police the shooter forced him at gunpoint to drive him to the residence, but the shooter told police they got the gun from the Brookfield man's home, charges allege.

A Brookfield man who told police he was an unwilling participant in a drive-by shooting in Milwaukee may have been more involved in the plan, according to a criminal complaint.

Rahul K. Singh, 19, of Brookfield, was charged in Milwaukee County Circuit Court Saturday with one count of endangering safety by use of a dangerous weapon from a vehicle — the same charge that was filed Tuesday against Ryan Baltz, 21, of Wauwatosa.

Brookfield Man Says Friend Threatened Him with Gun Before Shooting

Drinking, fighting, with a gun, while you're out on bail for a violent crime, holding your gun on your friend, shooting up a residence full of kids... it just all adds up on you.

A Brookfield man says he ended up being the driver in a May 13 drive-by shooting in Milwaukee only because the shooter — a Wauwatosa friend and passenger — also held a gun on him, police say. Ryan L. Baltz, 21, of Wauwatosa, was charged Tuesday in Milwaukee County Circuit Court with one count of endangering safety with use of a dangerous weapon. If convicted, he faces up to 12½ years in prison and $25,000 in fines. Charges allege Baltz shot up a Milwaukee home after he was kicked out of a party there earlier that night. The Brookfield man, who is not being named because he hasn't been charged in connection with the drive-by shooting, was arrested for drunken driving Tuesday in Brookfield. That's when he was turned over to Milwaukee police …
