GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – A hearing was postponed Monday on whether charges should be dismissed against a 15-year-old charged with first-degree intentional homicide for a shooting at a west-side pharmacy.
Jeremiah Robinson allegedly shot and killed a 31-year-old man Feb. 18 outside the Walgreens store on the corner of Oneida and Mason streets.
His attorney filed a motion to dismiss the charges, arguing there was not sufficient evidence presented at the preliminary hearing to support a decision to order Robinson to stand trial. However, since the transcript of the April 6 hearing is not completed, the hearing was delayed Monday to June 6.
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.
Finke is charged with possession of heroin, with an offense date listed as the same as the homicide.
