The 15-year-old victim of a stabbing at Bradford High School died late Friday morning, and the teen who stabbed him was charged with homicide hours later.

Timothy Carson, 15, was charged as an adult with second-degree reckless homicide, use of a dangerous weapon. That charge indicates the use of “unnecessary defensive force” in intentionally causing death. His bond was set at $250,000.

“The seriousness of this offense can hardly be overemphasized,” said District Attorney Michael Graveley. “I don’t believe that Kenosha County has ever had a homicide in a school building or on school grounds in its history.”

Carson is accused of stabbing Dezjon Taylor, 15, once in the heart Tuesday after Taylor confronted Carson in a second period study hall.

According to the criminal complaint, Taylor, also a freshman at Bradford, suffered a single stab wound to his heart. He was initially treated at Kenosha Medical Center then transferred to Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin.

According to the criminal complaint, he died at 11:08 a.m. Friday.
