Kyle Rittenhouse trial: Who are Joseph Rosenbaum, Anthony Huber, and Gaige

A chaotic protest over the police-involved shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last summer left three men shot – two fatally – and a teen facing life imprisonment.

With a jury deliberating the fate of Illinois 18-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse Wednesday, pro-conviction protesters outside the city’s courthouse are demanding the public remember the men who were shot on Aug. 25 just down the street.

Joseph Rosenbaum, a 36-year-old residing in Kenosha, was the first man who Rittenhouse fatally shot on the evening of Aug. 25, 2020.

Drone footage of the encounter appears to show Rosenbaum chasing Rittenhouse before the teenager turned around and fired four shots at close range, fatally striking Rosenbaum.

Rittenhouse testified that he acted in self-defense after Rosenbaum threatened to kill him and tried to grab his gun, but prosecutors argued that Rittenhouse provoked Rosenbaum earlier in the evening.

Hours before the fatal encounter, Rosenbaum had been released from a local hospital in the wake of a suicide attempt, the Washington Post reported last fall.

He had pending charges in Wisconsin for alleged domestic abuse and jumping bail at the time of his death.

In December 2002, a court in Pima County, Arizona, sentenced him to a decade in prison on child molestation charges. He spent just over 14 years in prison and committed dozens of disciplinary infractions, state records show.

Rosenbaum had a young daughter at the time of his death.

Rittenhouse faces one count of first-degree reckless homicide for shooting Rosenbaum, a crime that is punishable by up to 60 years in prison.

Moments after Rittenhouse fatally shot Rosenbaum, 26-year-old Anthony Huber chased after the teen and hit him with a skateboard. Rittenhouse then fatally shot Huber once in the chest.

Rittenhouse testified that he acted in self-defense, while prosecutors say that Huber was trying to stop an “active shooter” when he approached the armed teen.

Huber was a Kenosha native who had six siblings. He was an avid skateboarder with a “quick wit and comedic personality,” according to his obituary.

Wisconsin court documents show that Huber was convicted of domestic abuse and disorderly conduct in 2018. He also served a prison stint in 2012 for choking his brother.

His girlfriend, Hannah Gittings, told WTMJ on Wednesday that the trial was “more dramatic than I thought it was going to be.”

“I just feel he was so underrepresented in this trial and I don’t think that’s fair because what he did was assess an active shooter situation and he was just that type of man,” Gittings told the local news outlet.

Rittenhouse was charged with first-degree intentional homicide in Huber’s death, a crime that carries a mandatory life sentence.
