Felony murder is an allegation the suspect caused the victim’s death while in the act of another crime, in this case, battery.
“The evidence obtained by Neenah Police Department investigators shows that Mandel Roy began fighting with (Ridgeway), committing at least a battery, using a blunt weapon. Terran Colwell also became involved in the fight, likely stabbing (Ridgeway) with a knife, causing injuries that resulted in (Ridgeway)’s death. Roy and Colwell continued to fight with (Ridgeway) even after his apparent attempts to get away,” the criminal complaint states.
Ridgeway suffered five stab wounds, another incision, and multiple bruises. Stab wounds to the chest were fatal, the complaint states.
