MILWAUKEE, Wis–The case of a Milwaukee boy accused of killing an Oshkosh woman in a carjacking will remain in adult court. A judge rejects a reverse waiver request from Jayden Adams to be tried as a juvenile.
Adams is charged in Milwaukee County Court with First Degree Reckless Homicide, Auto Theft, Hit and Run Involving Death, and Identity Theft. Adams allegedly tried to drive off in the Jeep owned by Sunita Balogun in a Wauwautosa hotel parking lot–running her over in the process–back in October of 2021. He was 13-years old at the time.
Juveniles can be charged as adults in cases of serious felonies. Adams faces up to 115-years in prison if convicted.
