GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – A possible plea deal in a Green Bay murder case did not materialize Tuesday, so a March 14 trial was set.
Waylon Wayman is charged with first-degree intentional homicide for the murder of Codie Schultz on April 1, 2020.
Wayman was scheduled to appear in court Tuesday for a plea hearing. Instead, a five-day murder trial was scheduled.
A second suspect, Clarence Graveen, is scheduled to enter a plea Nov. 8. He’s charged with being party to first-degree intentional homicide.
According to the criminal complaint, police were called to the area of Clinton Street and 12th Avenue at about 1 a.m. on April 1, 2020. Schultz had been shot once behind the left ear, at close range.
One witness told police that Wayman believed Schultz was responsible for robbing Wayman of $900 and a half-ounce of meth.
Another witness said Wayman planned to rob Schultz for meth and heroin. While driving, Wayman shot Schultz, the witness said, according to the complaint.
Wayman later admitted to the murder, one woman told police.
Graveen told police he and Wayman did plan on robbing Schultz. Graveen said he was in the car when Schultz was shot but did not know who did the shooting, the complaint states.
