Dominic Nosacek, 31, faces first-degree intentional homicide and bail jumping charges after confessing to fatally shooting his neighbor, 50-year-old Angelo Nelson, in their Milwaukee apartment building hallway on February 2, 2026.
Shooting Details
Nosacek shot Nelson once in the head around 9 a.m. near Astor and Ogden with an AK-47-style rifle (recovered loaded from his apartment), claiming Nelson—a perceived “militia” member harassing him—was waiting to attack despite being unarmed and no prior argument. He returned home, “did his taxes,” then walked to a nearby DHS office lobby, telling guards, “I just killed a militia, I shot him in the head” or “killed somebody… a terrorist.”
Confession and Background
Post-Miranda, Nosacek cited psychosis, depression, noisy/”blackmailing” neighbors provoking him; prohibited from firearms due to 2019 misdemeanor battery and recent domestic violence (signature bond August 2025). No visible blood/injuries on him; bail set at $251,000 cash after February 5 hearing.
Victim Remembrance
Nelson, father of two daughters, was “pure joy,” intellectual, and people-person per family; friends since middle school mourn a recent 50th birthday celebrant starting a new job. GoFundMe aids funeral costs; Nosacek’s mother seeks mental health treatment.
