GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Jury selection started Monday morning for Gustavo Cantu in connection with a 2022 murder on the city’s west side.
Cantu, 42, is charged with being party to first-degree intentional homicide for his alleged role in the shooting death of Randall Denny at Perkins and Western avenues on April 30, 2022. Police have said the murder appeared to be tied a drug deal, with prosecutors adding that a theft by Denny – including money, drugs, and weapons – was a motivating factor.
The court has 12 days scheduled for the trial.
His brother, Alejandro Cantu was convicted of felony murder-battery last week. A third suspect, Jacob Ventura, offered a statement to police implicating the Cantus, so his case was separated from theirs. No trial date is scheduled; he returns to court March 10.
