MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- The employee charged with killing a Pizza Hut manager in South Milwaukee pleaded guilty to first degree reckless homicide Monday, Aug. 19.

Kavonn Ingram is accused of killing 55-year-old Alexander Stengel, whose body was found in a garbage cart outside the restaurant back in February.

According to a criminal complaint, investigators determined Stengel was likely killed in the kitchen area of the Pizza Hut, wrapped in a garbage bag from the restaurant, placed in a garbage can and then wheeled outside to the dumpster crib area.

A medical examiner's report determined the manner of death was homicide, noting a gunshot wound and puncture wounds to the victim's neck and head.

The complaint says Stengel had cashed an inheritance check just before heading to work that day and likely had $7,000 in his possession.

A sentencing hearing is scheduled for Oct. 4.
