GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – A second suspect was convicted Wednesday in connection with the drug-deal-related murder of Robert Marshall.
Aaron Walton, 33, pleaded no contest to felony murder for the June 2, 2024, death on Green Bay’s east side. Sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 10.
As part of the plea deal, prosecutors will cap their recommendation for prison time at 12 years, court records show.
Joseph Poore, the stabber, was sentenced to 30 years in prison for the murder.
The murder was a dispute about drugs, according to authorities. According to the criminal complaint, Marshall was beaten and stabbed in a vehicle on Green Bay’s east side. Poore and Walton then took off in the vehicle and left Marshall, who was found dead at the scene.
Walton admitted the two planned to “take money (expletive) back from him” because Marshall owed Walton money.
Marshall was injured when he told him to leave the vehicle. When a detective asked why Poore did it, Walton answered that Poore is “nuts.”
A knife believed to have been used in the stabbing was found near the Mason Street bridge in Green Bay. Poore and Walton were arrested near Peshtigo.
