GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – An Aug. 12 trial date was set Monday for Jesse Dahl, the suspect in a Dec. 2022 murder on Green Bay’s east side.
The criminal complaint identifies the victim, a 42-year-old man, only by his initials, R.H. Another 41-year-old man was also shot but survived.
The case against Dahl, 24, was delayed several times as the state public defender’s office had troubles finding an attorney for him. This is the first time a trial has been scheduled on the homicide and attempted homicide counts.
Dahl is currently at the Green Bay Correctional Institution, serving a sentence from an unrelated Sawyer County case.
Investigators say the surviving victim said he and R.H. were walking in the alley behind the 1300 block of Smith Street around midnight Dec. 20, 2022, when they met Dahl and another man. The witness told police he thought R.H. and Dahl knew each other.
The meeting escalated into a confrontation — it’s unclear exactly why — and shots were fired. The witness said R.H. returned fire and hit Dahl. R.H. was taken to the hospital, where he died.
Dahl was dropped off at the hospital in an allegedly stolen vehicle. He was uncooperative, police said. The complaint does not include a statement from him.
When the surviving victim arrived at the hospital, he had a bag containing a gun, meth, cocaine and fentanyl. He said the bag belonged to R.H. The gun was matched to some shell casings found at the scene. Drug charges have been filed against the surviving victim, but he has not been charged with any crimes related to the shooting.
Other shell casings at the scene appeared to have come from a gun that has not been found.
