GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — The case of a 15-year-old charged in a west-side murder remains on hold as the state public defenders office tries to locate an attorney to take the case.
Jeremiah Robinson allegedly fatally shot a 31-year-old man Feb. 18 outside the Walgreens store on the corner of Oneida and Mason streets.
During a status conference Wednesday, Noah Kohl said the public defenders office believes it has an attorney for the case, but still needs to verify that.
Another status conference is planned for April 1. The next stage in the case will be a preliminary hearing.
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.
