JANESVILLE — A young Beloit homicide suspect spent most of his life in Janesville, according to a Beloit police news release. He could spend the rest of his life in prison.
Dusstin C. Longtin, who turned 16 on Oct. 6, was waived into adult court Monday. Bail was set at $1 million.
Longtin faces a charge of first-degree intentional homicide. He faces life imprisonment if convicted on that charge.
Beloit police sent out Longtin's photograph Monday, along with a short news release that said Longtin had been attending public school in Beloit "in some capacity for the last month.
"Longtin grew up in Janesville and attended schools in Janesville for most of the last 10 years," the news release continues. "He had a brief stint in the Wauwatosa School District prior to enrolling in Beloit."
Longtin is accused in the shooting death of Luis A. Gonzalez, 18, on Wednesday.
According to the criminal complaint, witnesses said Longtin was one of four juveniles who were on foot when they encountered a car in which Gonzalez was riding with three other males Wednesday.
Another car with two additional males followed the first car.
Gonzalez was going out with the ex-girlfriend of one of the minors who was on foot, and Gonzalez was taunting the minor, the minor told police. Tempers flared, witnesses said.
Gonzalez was sitting in the front passenger seat.
During the confrontation, Longtin, known by the nicknames Smiley, Shorty and Toto, reached into the car and shot Gonzalez twice, witnesses told police.
Gonzalez suffered gunshots to his chest and arm.
The three minor males who accompanied Longtin during the confrontation came to the Beloit Police Department with their parents Wednesday night and were interviewed separately.
The three told police they were walking on Shore Drive when confronted by males in two cars, the news release states.
One of Longtin's companions confirmed Longtin reached into the car and shot Gonzalez. He said all four ran from the scene and went to one of their homes.
Police executed a search warrant and reported finding a loaded revolver in a bedroom closet in Longtin's residence, 725 Ninth St., where they also found clothing said to be similar to what Longtin had been wearing during the shooting.
Longtin told police on Wednesday night that he had been home all day and later asked for a lawyer, the news release states.
Gonzalez was pronounced dead at Beloit Memorial Hospital at 1:23 p.m. Wednesday. A pathologist concluded that Gonzalez died of "homicidal gunshot wounds."
