Wisconsin DOJ identifies man who shot, killed former judge

A search of court records found Roemer was involved in a case involving Uhde nearly 20 years ago, when Uhde pleaded no contest to charges of burglary while armed with a dangerous weapon, carrying a concealed weapon, possessing a short-barreled shotgun or rifle, and being a person previously convicted of a felony possessing a firearm after a plea hearing in November of 2005.

Roemer was not the judge assigned to the case when the charges were first filed in August of 2001, but was assigned to it in February 2005, and was the judge on the bench for Uhde’s sentencing. Court records show Roemer sentenced Uhde to six years in state prison and nine years extended supervision on the armed burglary charge, while sentences for the other charges were served concurrently.

The DOJ confirmed the shooting of Roemer appears to be a targeted act, but did not provide further details into their reasoning. The DOJ also did not address multiple reports that Uhde had an apparent hit list that included Roemer and high-ranking politicians, such as Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, and U.S. Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell.

From looking at ccap... this goes back to 2001

Burglary-Armed w/ Dangerous Weapon, a class B felony, Wisconsin Statutes 943.10(2)(a).
Carrying a Concealed Weapon, a class A misdemeanor, Wisconsin Statutes 941.23.
Possess Short-barreled Shotgun/Rifle, a class E felony, Wisconsin Statutes 941.28(2).
Felon Possess Firearm, a class E felony, Wisconsin Statutes 941.29(2)(a).

After his incarceration looked like he escaped and was recaptured.

He was living Michigan... which might explain the "militia" membership.
