(WFRV) – The State of Wisconsin County Circuit Court is charging 28-year-old Terran Colwell with one count of felony murder for the death of Rodger Ridgeway. According to a criminal complaint, the charge says Colwell allegedly caused the death of Ridgeway on April 17, 2021, while committing or attempting to commit party to a battery crime. The complaint goes on to say if Colwell is convicted she faces a fine close to 10 thousand dollars and/or imprisonment close to six years. Shawano County Sheriff’s had previously arrested Madel Roy and Colwell after they were reported for a suspicious vehicle complaint on April 19. Investigators say Colwell was not kept in jail because it was not released yet that she had involvement in the Neenah stabbing case. During the investigation, officers say Eagle Nation Cycles turned over surveillance video, allowed officers access to search for evidence, and a number of people gave statements of what happened. Officers say the surveillance video shows Colwell is visible on multiple cameras after the altercation with Ridgeway, seen holding objects that look like a wallet and a knife. Investigators say Ridgeway was found without a wallet and it has not been located yet. Through the indoor surveillance video, Colwell is seen going straight to the bathroom in Eagle Nation Cycle after the altercation with Ridgeway. Officials continue to search for Colwell at this time. www.wearegreenbay.com/news/local-news/body-found-in-alleyway-in-neenah/Additional article on case: www.nbc26.com/news/local-news/one-suspect-in-custody-another-suspect-identified-in-fatal-neenah-stabbingThoughts?

Article that goes into some more detail on the case. It sounds like a situation between Ridgeway of the bikers that got out of control but obviously any killing not in self-defense isn't justified. Obviously for the courts and juries to decide but it seems police do not think this was self-defense based on the charges: NEENAH, Wis. (WBAY) - Winnebago County prosecutors say Rodger Ridgeway thought his mother was mistreated at a bar, so he went to confront people at that bar. Minutes later, he was murdered. Terran Colwell, 28, of Blaine, Minn., and Mandel Roy, 26, of Minneapolis, were charged Wednesday with felony murder. According to the criminal complaints, Ridgeway’s mother called 911 from Gord’s Pub at 8:30 the night of the murder, saying a woman struck her. The responding officer found out the mother was upset that bikers wouldn’t take her for a ride, saying she was too drunk. Her boyfriend took her home and she was advised not to come back to the bar. It appears Ridgeway came to Gord’s Pub a couple hours later. The bartender initially thought it was Ridgeway’s mother, telling police she came to the bar wearing men’s clothing and carrying a stick, confronting people at the bar. Just before midnight, a person approached a police officer and said someone was lying on the grass in a parking lot near the bar. The officer found the 22-year-old Ridgeway dead, with two stab wounds to his chest and bruising on his face and body. Near his body was a wooden club police identified as a “tire knocker,” used to check a tire’s inflation “but also effective as a weapon,” and a cellphone with a case containing Mandel Roy’s credit card. Investigators collected surveillance video from nearby businesses and homes. Investigators say a business’s video shows Ridgeway’s mother approach the bikers and their motorcycles. After some conversation, she flips off some of the bikers and gets into a physical fight with them, and a woman appears to hit her. At 10:30, Ridgeway is seen parking his car at Plexus on Martens St. At 11:09 P.M., a business camera captures him walking southeast from the area of Gord’s Pub with a group of people, including one with Hell’s Lovers patches on their clothing. Roy is seen carrying a “long, club-like object” consistent with the tire knocker. There’s a fight, then two people run off, essentially going around the block and entering Eagle Nation Cycles on Main St. Investigators believe those two people were Terran Colwell and Roy. Eventually, investigators received permission to search Eagle Nation Cycles. They say video shows Colwell moments after the fight with Ridgeway carrying what appears to be a knife and a wallet. Ridgeway didn’t have any identification on his body and his wallet was never found. Investigators learned Colwell and Roy were questioned in Shawano County over a suspicious vehicle complaint. Roy was held on drug charges, but Colwell, who identified herself as Terran Barna, was allowed to go. Neenah police also arrested a third person, 51-year-old Charles Hoofman, who they say was seen in videos very close to the fight, but investigators couldn’t tell if he joined in. He also left Ridgeway on the ground at the end of the fight. He was not been charged. www.wbay.com/2021/05/12/neenah-victim-was-beaten-stabbed-after-confronting-bikers-at-bar-criminal-complaint-says/
