A judge set bail at $1.5 million cash for a teenager charged in a fatal shooting at a shopping mall in eastern Wisconsin.
Dezman Ellis, of Oshkosh, made his first appearance Monday in Outagamie County Court on charges of first-degree intentional homicide and first-degree recklessly endangering safety. He had been extradited on Friday from Iowa, where he fled after the Jan. 31 shooting.
