GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — One of the brothers convicted for their roles in a murder stemming from a February 2023 bar fight was sentenced to prison Wednesday.
Jose Hernandez, 24, was sentenced to three years in prison and two years on extended supervision after he was convicted of attempted homicide in connection with the death of Edgar Rodriguez-Hernandez.
His brother, Omar Hernandez, 26, was also scheduled to be sentenced Wednesday, after he was previously convicted of first-degree reckless homicide. But due to a recent change in attorneys, his sentenced was delayed to Sept. 26.
Both originally faced intentional homicide charges, but those counts were reduced as part of the plea deal.
According to the criminal complaints, police responded to Clayton Place, near Eisenhower Park, for report of shots fired on Feb. 11, 2023. One man, lying in a front yard, was dead with “massive trauma to his head,” while another was taken to the hospital with three gunshot wounds to the chest.
The incident was the continuation of a fight which happened at a bar a few hours earlier.
