I'm not American or a lawyer, but from some of the things I'm reading it seems like depending on age or the crime or criminal history some states have laws that literally remove those cases from juvenile courts' jurisdiction.
Some states don't even allow juvenile court for anyone 16+ regardless of the charge, I don't know if the state he is from mattered or if WI has those specific legislative bits. It seems that in many cases involving firearms or murder the question of juvenile or adult trial is determined by the law beforehand and not by the lawyers or judges.
I think in a good world he would be tried as a child and everyone involved in making him into a murderer (whoever radicalized him, gave him access to a gun, encouraged him to shoot people, etc) would be tried as an accessory to murder, but in a good world this shouldn't happen.
