GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – Formal charges have been filed against an Allouez man and his fiancée for the 2012 murder of Thomas Wick.
30-year-old Matthew Moore is facing 5 counts, including first-degree intentional homicide. Katie Heller faces similar charges, including being party to first-degree homicide and perjury.
Both made their initial court appearances Thursday in Brown County court. Heller is due back in court April 3 for a preliminary hearing, while Moore will return April 8 for his preliminary hearing.
According to prosecutors, Moore allegedly killed Wick inside his Howard home because he owed Wick money.
On February 27, 2012, a friend arrived to Wick’s home at 240 Hidden Creek Trail and found him dead in the basement. Brown County Sheriff’s deputies say Wick was shot to death, and believe he had been lying there for several hours.
Wick owned Bayside Electric, a residential and commercial electrical company.
