MANITOWOC, WI (WTAQ-WLUK)- Charges could be filed for a suspicious death in Manitowoc County.
24-year-old Felicia Kuehnl is in custody for allegedly shooting and killing her step-father 49-year-old Randy Loze.
Police Captain David Vorpahl says the call came in from Vorpahl’s ex-wife after she heard a confession.
“The suspect came to the relative’s house, and disclosed that she shot Mr. Loze.”
Vorpahl said Kuehnl then led officers on a chase.
“Miss Kuehnl then left the house at a high rate of speed, driving Mr. Loze’s 2006 Dodge Charger.”
After a two-mile chase that lasted four minutes, Kuehnl was taken into custody.
The chase ended near N. 10th Street and Maritime Drive.
She is facing charges of fleeing an officer and will likely be charged with homicide later this week.
On April 20, police were called to a residence at 903 S. 11th Street for a report of a shooting.
“Officers walked into the residence and identified the deceased male later identified as Randy Loze.”
Police say Loze was pronounced dead at the scene from a single gunshot wound to the head.
Vorpahl says at this time, the motive for the shooting is unknown.
Court commissinoer, Patricia Koppa, set a bond at $1,000 cash for the potential fleeing charge.
At this time, Kuehnl remains in custody on a probation hold.
Kuehnl’s defense attorney says she expects to raise the issue of Kuehnl’s mental competency.
