MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- Joshua Gray of Milwaukee was in court on Thursday morning, February 14th for a motions hearing. He retained new counsel in the case against him and a new date was set for his arraignment.
Gray is charged with first-degree reckless homicide in the death of Riley Knapp. The criminal complaint in the case indicates Gray supplied heroin to Knapp, and Knapp died of an apparent overdose.
The criminal complaint in the case indicates Knapp was found dead in the basement of a home on Chestnut Lane in the Village of Grafton on January 3rd.
When officials investigated, they discovered a hypodermic needle on a dresser, along with a tourniquet, and a baggie of heroin. Officials also discovered additional drug paraphernalia, including several prescription bottles, marijuana and a number of hypodermic needles — according to the criminal complaint.
Officials also came upon a cell phone with text messages indicating Knapp was seeking out drugs — presumably heroin.
When interviewed by police, Gray admitted he had sold heroin to Knapp four or five times over the past month — and had sold heroin to Knapp recently — a $100 bag and a $50 bag.
If convicted, Gray faces fines of up to $100,000 and up to 40 years in prison, or both. He's due in court for his arraignment on March 12th.
