A Janesville teen-ager faces a lengthy prison sentence after shooting a man over a stolen bike.  19-year-old Kenan Clemons pleaded guilty in January to a single count of attempted second degree intentional homicide.  Additional charges of operating without consent, burglary, and theft were dismissed but read into the record.  Janesville Police say Clemons and another suspect were involved in shooting a 36-year-old Janesville man in the 1900 block of Conde Street just before 5:00 p.m. on June 6th of 2020.  Witnesses reported seeing the two suspects steal a bicycle in the 700 block of Roosevelt Avenue.  The bikes owner followed the suspects to Conde Street, where he was shot multiple times with a handgun.  Clemons and the other suspect were also accused of then stealing the victim’s vehicle, which was located soon after in the 5100 block of Afton Road.  Clemons was sentenced Thursday in Rock County Court to 20-years in prison followed by 10-years extended supervision.
