Tuesday’s scheduled arraignment of an Eau Claire man accused of killing a neighbor did not take place as scheduled.
Shane Helmbrecht is charged with intentional homicide in the fatal shooting of neighbor Jenn Ward in 2016. Helmbrecht had previously been found incompetent to stand trial, and was sent to a group home that he later walked away from — only to later be found in Mexico. Tuesday’s hearing was delayed with Helmbrecht continuing an appeal.
Another hearing is scheduled to take place in March.
