Teen Stabs Father Then Flees to Nebraska | Milwaukee News

An 18-year-old from Racine, Wisconsin, Joseph Niemiec, is facing attempted first-degree murder charges after stabbing his own father in the neck during a violent home confrontation. The attack occurred just before 1 AM on August 12th when Joseph, initially let inside after his father mistook his voice for an intruder, turned violent after asking for a hug—pulling out a knife instead. The father fought back, disarmed him, and fled to a neighbor’s for help while Joseph escaped. Nebraska troopers caught him shortly after on Interstate 80 and arrested him under a Wisconsin warrant. He’s now in custody in Hall County Jail, awaiting extradition back to Wisconsin for trial. This case underscores how family violence can spiral across state lines—and justice is being pursued.
