Christopher Stokes on Wednesday pleaded guilty to shooting and killing five members of his family in a home on Milwaukee’s north side in April 2020.
Stokes, 44, pleaded guilty to all five counts of first-degree intentional homicide and another charge of possessing a firearm by a convicted felon after his case was stalled for months to determine if he qualified for what’s called an NGI plea, not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect.
His attorney, Nathan Opland-Dobs, declined to comment
Stokes sentencing hearing is scheduled for July 27. Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Michelle Havas is presiding over the case.
