OCONTO, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Oconto police say last week’s attempted homicide was over a package of drugs delivered by mail.
On Sept. 3, police were dispatched to 2008 Superior Ave. for a man suffering from a gunshot wound. When officers arrived on scene. they found the victim in the driveway with a gunshot wound to the right side of his chest. The victim was taken to the hospital and remains in stable condition.
During the investigation, it was determined that a package containing narcotics was delivered by mail to the Superior Ave. residence and suspect, 24-year-old Cody Krueger, had prior knowledge and was waiting for the package to be delivered.
A confrontation ensued at the mailbox, police say, and that is when the victim was shot.
Authorities are still searching for Krueger. He is wanted for attempted homicide and armed robbery.
According to police. Krueger is known to frequent the Algoma area. They say current information suggests he is most likely in Kewaunee or Door County and may be driving a silver or gray Honda Accord with self painted racing stripes.
Authorities say Krueger made comments about being willing to “shoot anyone trying to take away his freedom.” They also say he’s known to drive with a sawed off shot gun pointed at the driver door. They say he also made comments about suicide by cop.
Anyone who sees Krueger is asked to call 911 immediately and move to a safe place. No one should approach him.

Krueger is 6’4, about 200 pounds and has a variety of tattoos including a Swastika on his abdomen, “Skinhead” on his abdomen, a cross on his left calf, a skull on his left calf, barbed wire on his left hand, another Swastika on his left knee, “High Life” on his left wrist, “Forever and Always” on his right breast, “KRK” on his left forearm, and “1488” on his left wrist.
