APPLETON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – A preliminary hearing and arraignment will be held April 2 for Gregory Juedes, who allegedly shot his father 15 times.
Juedes, 45, is charged with first-degree intentional homicide for the Nov. 24 death of Daniel Juedes Sr., 74, at a home on S. Sanders Street. He’s also charged with attempted to flee an officer, and resisting, after allegedly leaving the scene and being arrested in Kaukauna.
During a status conference Thursday, his attorney said Juedes will waive the preliminary hearing, so it was scheduled jointly with the arraignment.
According to the criminal complaint, police responded to the home about 7:35 a.m. A neighbor reported hearing 10 gunshots. Police entered the home, found Juedes Sr., but there were no signs of life. A total of 14 ammunition casings were found in the home.
A short time later, police located Juedes’ vehicle. Eventually, a PIT maneuver was used to stop his vehicle. Juedes ran, police used a Taser to subdue him, and Juedes continued to resist arrest.
During the trip to the hospital to treat Juedes, he commented on the murder.
“I think I got him with every round. And then one in the back of the head for good measure,” the complaint quotes Juedes as saying to police. “I went back to check (to) make sure he was down for the count.”
No motive is cited in the eight-page complaint.
An autopsy “identified 15 gunshot wound tracks to the victim and located three fully intact bullets from the body,” the complaint states.
