FDL Man Sentenced For Beaver Dam Man’s Murder

7 January 2020 News


The 21-year-old Fond du Lac man who shot a Beaver Dam man to death has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Nigel Schultz was sentenced by Dodge County Judge Martin DeVries Tuesday for the killing of 36-year-old Bradlee Gerke.  Gerke’s body was found in a shallow grave on Halloween of 2018 in a cow pasture in the Town of Lebanon. His body had been covered with gasoline and shot 16 times in the head and chest. Schultz had already amassed 10 felony convictions, and multiple misdemeanors, prior to his 18th birthday. District Attorney Kurt Klomberg says, “The defendant viewed the killing as his most significant accomplishment, and bragged about it as if it was a badge of honor.”
