GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Two brothers were charged Monday in connection with a shooting on the city’s east side which left one dead and one injured.
Jose Hernandez, 23, and Omar Hernandez, 24, are both charged with being party to the crime of first-degree intentional homicide and attempted homicide. The victims are only identified by their initials.
Both were expected to appear in court Monday afternoon.
According to the criminal complaints, police responded to Clayton Place, near Eisenhower Park, for report of shots fired. One man, lying in a front yard, was dead with “massive trauma to his head,” while another was taken to the hospital with three gunshot wounds to the chest.
The incident was the continuation of a fight which happened at a bar a few hours earlier.
Omar Hernandez told police “don’t do nothing to my brother. He didn’t do anything. It was me. I did it,” the complaint states. “Omar stated he shot the gun three or four times, only shooting at the two males. Omar stated he knew that he had hit them when he shot.”
“Jose admitted to holding the handgun during the disturbance but denied shooting,” the complaint states. However, witnesses describe Jose as firing the gun.
