FOND DU LAC, WI (WTAQ)- Two men charged in connection with a Fond Du Lac murder, appeared in court Monday. A cash bond of $1-million dollars was set for both 22-year-old Devon Neuman and 23-year-old Jesse Schultz.
Both men were charged with first degree intentional homicide and armed robbery.
Prosecutors say the two are responsible for September’s fatal shooting of Logan Foster.
According to police reports, the pair allegedly tried to rob Foster and took $100 dollars to buy drugs after they shot him.
District Attorney Eric Toney says the request for a high bond was needed in this case.
“When we have first-degree intentional homicide charges, it can carry up to life in prison, so that makes the risk of flight very high” he said.
Toney said the 9-month investigation was an effort that was made up of hard work from law enforcement and the community.
“A lot of dedicated work from the detectives and their agencies led to the arrest of these two” he said. “We really appreciate the public working with law enforcement with information.”
Toney said law enforcement was also given help from the community in the form of one piece of information that he called very helpful.
“It is something that most communities don’t experience that often, so it is something that we take very seriously and our condolences go out to the family and friends of Logan Foster.”
Neuman and Schultz will both be back in court on February 1st for a preliminary hearing.
