MILWAUKEE — A Milwaukee woman has been charged in the fatal shooting of a 26-year-old pharmacy student.

Jamica Mills, 31, was charged Saturday with one count of first-degree reckless homicide, use of a dangerous weapon, according to a criminal complaint.

Prosecutors say Mills claims to have accidentally shot and killed her friend, Ariel Spillner, after she said she had become paranoid that Spillner would stab her after the two had smoked marijuana together.
