Videos played at Kyle Rittenhouse’s criminal trial on Nov. 3 showed the shots he fired last year that killed Joseph Rosenbaum came 2.5 seconds after another man fired a single shot in the air.

Both the prosecution and defense concurred the man is Joshua Ziminski, 36, who was charged last year with disorderly conduct and use of a dangerous weapon, and has pleaded not guilty. Officials said in a criminal complaint that Ziminski and his wife both admitted that he had fired a “warning shot” into the air in Kenosha, Wisconsin, during the night of Aug. 25, 2020.
