Emerald George Metoxen was 18 when he was fatally shot during the early morning hours of June 22, 2026, on Green Bay’s east side. Officers were called to the 2400 block of Deckner Avenue at about 1:45 a.m. after a weapons-related report and found Metoxen unresponsive in the street with an apparent gunshot wound; lifesaving efforts failed and investigators classified the death as a homicide.

The shooting followed a late-night gathering in a residential neighborhood. Around the same time a 17-year-old boy arrived at a local hospital with an apparent gunshot wound; his injuries were described as serious but not life-threatening and he was expected to survive. Police said numerous people were present, served a search warrant at a nearby residence and detained one person while continuing to search for the person responsible; no suspect name, arrest or charge in the homicide has been publicly announced.

Metoxen, known by his Oneida name Tehanʌnsta?kala‧tats, was born October 25, 2007, and remembered by family for basketball, friends and relatives, watching online videos, Mexican food and a growing interest in dog breeding.
