OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ) – An Oshkosh man was formally charged Tuesday in the shooting death of his live-in girlfriend.
30-year-old Samson Gomoll is facing a count of first-degree intentional homicide with a domestic abuse modifier in the death of 42-year-old Stacey Strange.
According to the criminal complaint, a woman gave Strange a ride home around 1 a.m. Sunday to her home on W. 10th Avenue. Strange asked the woman to come inside with her because she was afraid of what Gomoll would do after the couple had been arguing.
The witness told police Gomoll accused Strange or her son of taking a magazine for his AK-47 rifle. Strange found the magazine to show that it was not missing.
Gomoll then told Strange to leave, but she replied by saying he was the one who should go since it was her apartment.
At that point, the witness said Gomoll pulled a handgun from under a pillow on the couch. Strange said to him, “You would seriously threaten me with a gun?” The witness said Gomoll then shot Strange 4 or 5 times.
Gomoll then allegedly turned the gun on the witness and told her to leave. She ran out of the apartment and told her boyfriend to call 911.
Police then located Gomoll around 11:45 a.m. in the Oshkosh neighborhood where his father lives, according to the complaint. Gomoll told officers he left the handgun in the apartment. Authorities went back and found a .45-caliber handgun and shell casings.
