GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — With an attorney now assigned to his case, the case against a 15-year-old charged in a west-side murder has resumed.
Jeremiah Robinson allegedly shot and killed a 31-year-old man Feb. 18 outside the Walgreens store on the corner of Oneida and Mason streets.
The case had been on hold while the state public defender’s office found an attorney to take the case. During a hearing Friday, a preliminary hearing was set for Wednesday morning.
According to the criminal complaint, Robinson and another man, Jeromy Finke, got into a confrontation with the victim and another man over money. Robinson told police the dispute carried over to the outside of the store, and he shot the victim in self-defense after being threatened with brass knuckles.
The criminal complaint says the victim, identified only by his initials, was shot four times.
In Wisconsin, suspects ages 10 and older in homicide and attempted homicide cases are tried in adult court.
