Elia Olson, a fourteen-year-old Wisconsin boy, shot his girlfriend three times in the head after she tried to break up with him in a frightening series of events. The girl, who was named by her family as 14-year-old Jazlene Jones, unexpectedly survived the assault.
In Racine County Circuit Court, Olson was accused of one felony count of first-degree attempted intentional homicide and one misdemeanor count of having a dangerous weapon while under the age of 18.
A criminal complaint was obtained, and it said that Olson was charged as an adult on Tuesday. If found guilty, he may spend up to 60 years in prison.
Elia Olson: Who is she?
Wisconsin’s Racine County is home to fourteen-year-old Elia Olson. On Sunday, January 8, Olson and his girlfriend Jones were walking along the railroad tracks of the city, roughly 25 miles south of Milwaukee, to smoke. She claimed that after telling Olson she wanted to break up with him, he first forced her to turn off her phone before throwing it away, and then he pointed a white revolver at her head and shot her. In front of Olson, she reportedly begged for her life, but he reportedly said, “You have to die,” before firing another two or three times. Later, he escaped the area.
Jones yelled for assistance and told a passing car at 21st Street and Memorial Drive about her predicament; the driver then dialed 911. She was transported to the Children’s Hospital of Milwaukee by Flight for Life.
At his friend’s house, where Olson was arrested, a backpack containing a.22 handgun and two magazines for a 9mm handgun was found. During a search of his home, bloody clothes were discovered.
Olson said that the breakup and her Snapchat posts were the reason he shot his fiancée.
According to Racine County Eye, the child was given a $500,000 cash bond at his first court appearance and told to keep away from Jones and her family. On January 18, he will show up in court for his preliminary hearing.
