Ricardo Ricky Gomez, 25, was shot and killed outside a home on Day Street in Green Bay on the evening of April 1, 2016. Described as a warm, helpful young man who enjoyed working on cars, listening to music and playing video games, Gomez was engaged to be married and is remembered as a beloved son, brother and friend.

The shooting grew out of a dispute between another man and Richard Arrington. Arrington, firing from a car toward the residence, struck Gomez as he stood in the doorway; Gomez was an unintended victim caught in the crossfire and died of his injuries. Arrington turned himself in and was charged with first-degree intentional homicide.

A jury found Arrington guilty and he was sentenced to life in prison. An appellate court later overturned the conviction on the grounds that a jailhouse informant had been used to record conversations, but the Wisconsin Supreme Court reversed that ruling, concluding the informant was not a state agent and reinstating the conviction. Does anyone have memories of Gomez or information about the night on Day Street that could help clarify what happened?
