KENOSHA, Wis. —
Prosecutors said accused Kenosha protest shooter Kyle Rittenhouse has violated the conditions of his release.
A judge allowed Rittenhouse, now 18, of Antioch, Illinois, to be released in November on $2 million cash bail.
He's currently awaiting trial for the shooting deaths of two men who were protesting the police shooting of Jacob Blake.
Prosecutors filed a motion Wednesday saying the court was unable to deliver a hearing notice for Rittenhouse at the address he listed as his home on his release paperwork.
The notice was returned to the court because a forwarding address was not known.
Prosecutors wrote in their filing Rittenhouse failed to notify the court of a change of address or telephone number within 48 hours.
They asked the judge to increase Rittenhouse's bail by $200,000 for the violation and issue a warrant for his arrest.
Prosecutors said they were unable to monitor Rittenhouse's whereabouts because he failed to notify them that he moved.
Rittenhouse's cash bond was raised from online supporters.
He has claimed he acted in self-defense.
