Greene is expected to make his first court appearance Wednesday.

The sheriff said investigators were called to a Kemmerlin Road residence just before 6 p.m. Monday to investigate the shooting.

Investigators arrived to find Greene’s son, Drequan Greene, dead and his 40-year-old wife suffering a gunshot wound, WIS reported.

Greene faces a minimum of 30 years if convicted of murder alone.

“There is absolutely no reason in this world for this to have happened,” Ravenell said. “We don’t have a solid motive as of yet, but nothing justifies this. Nothing.”
