Victim identified in fatal shooting in Neenah

Posted

NEENAH, WI -- New details are emerging today after one man was killed in a police standoff in Neenah on Saturday.

The man who was killed has been identified to NBC26 as Michael Funk by his attorney, Cole White.

White represents Eagle Nation Cycles and its two owners. Police have not confirmed that identification as of Sunday evening.

Police were still on scene this afternoon as the investigation continues.

Early Saturday, police were called to Eagle Nation Cycles in Neenah on reports that an active gunman was holding people hostage.

Those hostages were released unharmed after hours of negotiation.

Police have not released any additional information since a press conference Saturday night at 7 PM.

Police still have not released the name of the suspect in yesterday's hostage situation, and surrounding businesses were still closed Sunday afternoon.
 
But we are learning more about Eagle Nation Cycles, and the victim whose death has left neighbors stunned.
 
"It was hectic," says Frank Hancock, who lives just a few houses away from Eagle Nation, "everybody was lined up on the street." 
 
Police tape is still surrounding this city block, in Neenah today, leaving neighbor Hancock asking questions about the harrowing ordeal he, and dozens of other onlookers, witnessed yesterday.
 
"Who it was, why it happened," says Hancock, "none of us know." 
 
As a SWAT team, and numerous Fox Valley police agencies, swarmed the area around Eagle Nation Cycles yesterday morning, attorney Cole White--who represents Eagle Nation, and its two owners--says he was learning of the hostage crisis as it unfolded, via text with co-owner Steven Erato.
 
"It's not a text that you expect to get on a Saturday morning," says White.
 
White says Erato was preparing breakfast at the shop for underprivileged kids when a gunman entered.
 
"They regularly do lunch and breakfast for the community," says Erato.
 
Hours eventually passed before police freed all hostages, and arrested the suspect.
 
But it wasn't before a man that White identifies as Eagle Nation co-owner Michael Funk would be fatally shot.
 
Police say a man exited the shop with a gun in his hand, and was shot after not complying with police orders to drop it. 
 
"It just doesn't jive with the facts that I know," says White, "the fact that he was undergoing medical treatment to deal with a paralyzing fear of the police."
 
White says a police raid on Eagle Nation cycles in 2012 left Funk "terrified of police."
 
The raid is the center of a pending lawsuit against Neenah police, the city, and Winnebago County.
 
"He was to the point of not wanting to spend a lot of time outside of his home, for fear of just running into them," says White.
 
It's still unclear who fatally shot Funk at this time, including whether the shots that struck Funk came from police, or the suspect inside.
 
White says he's waiting for area surveillance video to be released by the state Department of Justice.
 
He's also asking for more details on the suspect, and the names of which officers fired their weapons.
 
As for any motive the unnamed suspect may have had, police have still not released one.
 
But White says he has been told that the suspect was angry at an individual to whom he had recently sold his motorcycle, and went to Eagle Nation Cycles to corner that person.
