There’s been another plea in the 2022 murder of Christopher Conner in Eau Claire.
Xavier Thompson pleaded no contest on Monday to recklessly endangering safety charges. In exchange, prosecutors dropped homicide charges. Thompson is the third person to plead guilty in the case. Eau Claire Police say five people were involved in Conner’s death back in 2022. Thompson will be sentenced in October. Two other suspects remain in jail awaiting either a trial or a plea deal of their own.
