OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ) – A Fox Valley man accused of busting into an apartment and killing its occupant pleaded guilty Monday to lesser charges.
43-year-old Sean Oehlke of Appleton is scheduled to be sentenced April 23rd for second-degree reckless homicide and burglary. He was originally charged with first-degree reckless homicide, felony murder, and burglary in Winnebago County in last October’s death of 68-year-old William Summers.
At the time, authorities said Oehlke was staying with relatives in the same building as the victim in the town of Menasha — and Summers had probably walked in on him when the slaying took place.
Prosecutors said a confrontation ensued, and Summers was placed in a headlock until he went limp.
