A dispute within a Wisconsin family over social‑media posts escalated to murder, and a teenager will serve twenty years in prison for the offense.
Hezile Frison, aged 16, entered a guilty plea to first‑degree reckless homicide for the fatal shooting of his 30‑year‑old sister, Ashley Hudson. A criminal complaint obtained by Law & Crime indicates that Hudson became the target of an altercation initiated by her two younger sisters over “social‑media posts” on the night of June 16, 2025. At the time, Frison was 15 and intervened, retrieving a firearm from his mother’s vehicle.
Aaliyah Frison, age 21 and also Hudson’s sister, pleaded guilty to battery and received a two‑year probation sentence. Their mother, Tara Hudson, 48, pleaded guilty to obstructing an officer and was sentenced to one year of probation.
The complaint notes that two uninvolved witnesses recorded the confrontation on their phones after hearing the disturbance outside. The video shows two women assaulting Hudson, one wielding a baseball bat. When Hudson attempted to flee by entering a parked car, the assailants continued to thrust the bat at her.
Hudson exited the vehicle, brandished a knife, and held it “as if to keep the batterers at bay.” At that moment, Frison produced his gun, aimed it at Hudson’s chest, and fired. The recording captures voices urging, “Don’t shoot,” before Frison discharged the weapon at point‑blank range. Hudson had raised her hands in surrender and was backing away from her brother when she was shot.
One of the sisters’ boyfriends later told police that the sisters were angry with Hudson over “social‑media posts” and confronted her outside her apartment. Hudson’s mother subsequently arrived in her own car, the location where Frison retrieved the gun he used.
During police questioning, Frison falsely asserted that Hudson “ran up” on him before he opened fire. When informed that his sister was dead, he replied, “What’s that got to do with me?” When asked whether he regretted his actions, he responded, “No, I’m just ready to do the time since I did the crime.”
At his sentencing hearing, Milwaukee County Judge David Borowski asked Frison if he had anything to say. Frison answered, “I’m very sorry about this.” The judge replied, “That’s it?” and continued, “You become involved in a fight,complete and utter insanity,and your mother should hear this,insanity between your sisters yelling, screaming. I heard the B‑word about twenty times. People swinging bats. And you walk up to your sister and shoot her in the chest as she backs away. And even at your age, the best you can muster is ‘I’m sorry about this’?”
Frison responded, “I want to bring her back.” The judge retorted, “You can’t bring her back. Your despicable, deplorable, violent, selfish act of killing your own sister does not allow you to do so.”
Frison was sentenced to twenty years in prison followed by ten years of extended supervision.
