A Wisconsin family's fight over social media posts turned fatal, and a teenager will spend two decades behind bars for the crime.
Hezile Frison, 16, pleaded guilty to first-degree reckless homicide in connection with the fatal shooting of his sister, 30-year-old Ashley Hudson. According to a criminal complaint obtained by Law&Crime, Hudson was the target of a fight by her two younger sisters over "social media posts" on the night of June 16, 2025. Frison, who was 15 years old at the time, joined the fight and got his hands on a gun from his mother's car.
After the two sisters tried to hit Hudson with a baseball bat, Frison pulled out the gun, aimed it at his sister's chest, and fired. Hudson, a mother of four children, was pronounced dead at the scene.
One of Hudson's sisters, 21-year-old Aaliyah Frison, pleaded guilty to battery and was sentenced to two years' probation. Hudson's mother, 48-year-old Tara Hudson, pleaded guilty to obstructing an officer and was sentenced to one year of probation.
According to the complaint, the fight was recorded by two different witnesses who were not involved. Police said both witnesses heard the fight happening outside and started recording the incident on their phones. The video showed two women fighting with Hudson, one of whom was wielding the baseball bat. When Hudson attempted to escape the attack by getting into a parked car, the women continued to "thrust" at her with the bat.
Hudson got out of the car and produced a knife, holding it "as if to keep the batterers at bay." At that point, Frison pulled out his gun and aimed it at Hudson. The video captured voices saying, "Don't shoot," before Frison fired the gun at "point-blank range." Hudson had her hands up in surrender and was backing away from her brother the moment before she was shot.
One of the sisters' boyfriends later told police that the two sisters were angry with Hudson over "social media posts" and went to confront Hudson outside her apartment. Hudson's mother then pulled up in her own car, which was where Frison found the gun he used to shoot his sister.
When police questioned Frison, he falsely claimed that Hudson "ran up" on him before he opened fire. Police said that when the teenager was told his sister was dead, he responded, "What's that got to do with me?" When asked if he was sorry for what he did, he said, "No, I'm just ready to do the time since I did the crime."
During Frison's sentencing hearing on Friday, which was carried by local Fox affiliate WITI, he was asked by Milwaukee County Judge David Borowski if he had anything to say. He responded, "I'm very sorry about this."
Borowski replied, "That's it?" He went on to say, "You get involved in a fight, it's complete and utter insanity — and your mother should hear this — insanity between your sisters yelling, screaming. I heard the b-word about 20 times. People swinging bats. And you walk up to your sister and shoot her in the chest as she was backing away. And even at your age, that's the best you can muster is 'I'm sorry about this'?"
Frison said, "I want to bring her back."
The judge snapped back, "But you can't bring her back. And your despicable, deplorable, violent, selfish act of killing your own sister … you don't get to bring her back."
Frison was sentenced to 20 years in prison plus 10 years of extended supervision.
