A 15-year-old Wausau boy charged with first degree reckless homicide in the Feb. 27 fatal stabbing of a Wausau 8th grader will head to trial. Marathon County judge Jill Falstad made the ruling Thursday during a preliminary hearing for Dylan Yang.

Jay Kronenwetter, Yang's defense attorney had asked Falstad to send the case to juvenile court with a charge of second degree reckless homicide. Falstad disagreed, saying the evidence supported a finding of probable cause and utter disregard for human life. Court documents state 13-year-old Isaiah Powell and Yang were in rival gangs.

Yang told detectives he saw 15 year old Isiah Powell fire a gun, went back inside to the kitchen and retrieved a knife. When he returned a friend had tackled Isaiah and the two were fighting in the road.

Yang told police during an interview, he and another teen were sitting on the porch of his house when Powell exited a vehicle and began shooting a BB gun at them. Yang said his his friend ran toward Powell. Yang said at one point Powell was on his friend and was punching him. Yang told police that's when he went into his house and grabbed the knife and stabbed Powell in the back.

Yang remains in custody in juvenile facility on $1 million cash bond. The bond was continued at Thursday's hearing.
