OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – A dispute between two groups years in making led to a fight and stabbing death outside an Oshkosh restaurant Saturday, according to a criminal complaint filed Friday.
Sybastian Crossman, 23, made an initial court appearance Friday on one count of first-degree reckless homicide. A $500,000 cash bond was set. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Aug. 26.
Although another man was also taken into custody, he will not be charged, according to the Winnebago County District Attorney’s office.
According to the complaint, police were called to the lot outside of a pizza restaurant on High Avenue in Oshkosh about 2:30 a.m. Saturday due to a report of a stabbing. The victim suffered a single puncture wound to his abdomen.
Crossman and his friend got into an argument with four others – including the eventual stabbing victim – inside the restaurant. Security cameras show Crossman and his friend “appearing to the be the aggressors in an interaction with four males,” the complaint states.
The confrontation then moves outside, which is where the stabbing took place.
Crossman told police they “ran into people that haven’t liked him for a long time, based on something Crossman’s buddy had done. Crossman said that he thought it had all been clear until a couple weeks prior, he was with Mack, and they ran into some of the same people from the 8/10/24 incident. Crossman said that during that contact a couple weeks prior, the group had robbed them,” the complaint states.
Crossman said he believed the other would have gun on them or in the vehicles. After initially denying he had a knife, “About an hour and 35 minutes into the interview, Crossman acknowledged having a knife. Crossman said, “I pulled it but I didn’t stab him. He ran into it,” according to the complaint.
A cousin of one of the victims told police that during the incident a few weeks ago, Crossman was made to get on his knees and apologize for using a racial slur, and he believes that’s what Crossman was upset during this incident.
