Jerry Ward, who was 17 at the time of the shooting of Anisa Scott, originally was charged with first-degree intentional homicide as a party to a crime. That charge and one of felony bail jumping were dismissed under the plea bargain, as were several other pending felony charges against Ward dating to 2020.

Prosecutors are recommending a 20-year prison sentence for Ward followed by 10 years of extended supervision. A sentencing hearing has not been scheduled. Ward’s bail has been revoked.

Investigators have said they believe the driver of Scott’s vehicle was the target of the shooting.
