Kenosha Parks Commission to consider request for memorial honoring Anthony Huber in Rittenhouse shooting

Huber was the second man Kyle Rittenhouse fatally shot in 2020

The Kenosha Parks Commission in Kenosha, Wisconsin, is slated to vote Monday night on a request to place a tree and plaque in a city park to commemorate Anthony Huber, one of the two men Kyle Rittenhouse fatally shot in 2020.

The application, which was filled out April 5 by someone claiming to be Huber's girlfriend Hannah Gittings, requested a memorial marker be placed in Huber's memory at a flowering dogwood in Anderson Park, according to public documents attached to the committee's agenda, which were reviewed by Fox News Digital.

Kenosha Director of Public Works Shelley Billingsley confirmed to Fox News that the application had been submitted to her department and falls under the jurisdiction of the Parks Commission. If approved, the memorial trees and markers are then paid for by the donor.

When Fox News contacted the number Gittings listed on the application, she said she did not think it was reasonable to expect her to offer comment without first knowing the angle of Fox's story.

According to its agenda, the five-person Parks Commission is scheduled to convene Monday at 5 p.m. CST. The application will be approved if three aldermen vote in favor of it.

A Kenosha native, Huber was an avid skateboarder with a "quick wit and comedic personality," according to his obituary. Wisconsin court documents show that Huber was convicted of domestic abuse and disorderly conduct in 2018, and he also served a prison stint in 2012 for choking his brother.
