Police say an Appleton man is dead following a weekend weapons disturbance.
The victim has been identified as 74-year old Daniel Juedes Sr.
Police were called to the 1800 block of S. Sanders Street around 7:30 a.m. Sunday morning. Neighbors reported hearing gunshots.
When officers arrived, they found Juedes Sr. with gunshot wounds. Lifesaving measures were taken but the man was pronounced deceased.
An autopsy was conducted Monday morning at the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Appleton police continue to search for a motive.
Lt. Meghan Cash said, “At this point we’re still kind of working through that. Investigators were down in Milwaukee today for the autopsy to continue to go through that process, continuing to make sure we have the scene still held. We’re still working through that scene, but again trying to make sure we have the information that we have given the severity crimes.”
Following the shooting, Gregory Juedes led police on a chase. He was finally taken into custody in the area of Highway J near Interstate 41.
Police say the shooting was the first time they’ve interacted with either the father or son. According to Lt. Cash, “We have no further calls, prior to, nothing that we’ve been able to find for any prior contacts related to this specific address or the suspect in this case, relatively recent. It’s definitely something we’re working through to try and figure out kind of where did this come from, what can we do and how can we continue to support the family.”
No formal charges have been filed. Juedes is expected in court Tuesday.
