A 16-year-old Milwaukee youth has been sentenced to 20 years in state prison following the fatal shooting of his 30-year-old sister during a street dispute in June 2025.
On September 25, 2026, Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge David Borowski sentenced Hezile Frison to 20 years in prison followed by 10 years of extended supervision and ordered him to pay $1,800 in restitution. Frison previously pleaded guilty to one count of first-degree reckless homicide for the killing of his sister, Ashley Hudson.
The June 2025 Incident near MLK Drive
The fatal confrontation occurred on June 16, 2025, near Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive and Vliet Street, outside the Park East Lofts. According to criminal complaints and court records:
- Social Media Dispute: An argument over social media posts escalated into a physical street fight caught on bystander video and Facebook Live.
- Escalation: Ashley Hudson was attacked with a baseball bat during the brawl. Video footage showed Hudson entering a car to evade attackers and re-emerging with a knife to defend herself.
- The Shooting: Frison retrieved a handgun, approached Hudson as she backed away with her hands raised, and shot her at point-blank range in the chest. Witnesses on video could be heard shouting “don’t shoot” right before the gun fired. Hudson collapsed on the street corner shortly after.
Judicial Remarks and Family Charges
During the sentencing hearing, Judge Borowski admonished the violent breakdown within the family that led to the killing:
“You get involved in a fight, it’s complete and utter insanity… And your mother should hear this insanity between your sisters yelling, screaming… People swinging bats. And you walk up to your sister and shoot her in the chest as she was backing away.”
Frison’s case was handled in adult court because Wisconsin law automatically places 15-year-olds facing first-degree homicide charges under adult jurisdiction. Other family members faced legal consequences tied to the same dispute:
- Aaliyah Frison (21, sister): Pleaded guilty to aggravated battery for using a baseball bat during the altercation and was sentenced in January 2026 to two years of probation.
- Tara Hudson (48, mother): Charged with misdemeanor obstruction of an officer for allegedly misleading investigators during the homicide probe.
