GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Jesse Dahl was convicted of first-degree reckless homicide in connection with a December 2022 murder.
Sentencing is scheduled for July 28.
Dahl, 25, was previously charged with intentional homicide, but pleaded guilty to the reduced count Friday, court records show.
A 42-year-old man, identified in the criminal complaint by his initials, R.H., was killed. Another man was shot but survived.
Investigators say the surviving victim said he and R.H. were walking in the alley behind the 1300 block of Smith Street around midnight Dec. 20, 2022, when they met Dahl and another man. The witness told police he thought R.H. and Dahl knew each other.
The meeting escalated into a confrontation — it’s unclear exactly why — and shots were fired. The witness said R.H. returned fire and hit Dahl. R.H. was taken to the hospital, where he died.
Dahl was dropped off at the hospital in an allegedly stolen vehicle. He was uncooperative, police said. The complaint does not include a statement from him.
When the surviving victim arrived at the hospital, he had a bag containing a gun, meth, cocaine and fentanyl. He said the bag belonged to R.H. The gun was matched to some shell casings found at the scene. Drug charges have been filed against the surviving victim, but he has not been charged with any crimes related to the shooting.
