WAHPETON, N.D. (KFGO) – A man considered a person of interest in the shooting death of another man in Wahpeton last January has now been charged in Federal Court with having a gun as a convicted felon.

The charge replaces a similar charge filed in Richland County District Count against 33-year-old Anthony Kruger. He was arrested and charged with murder in the shooting death of 40-year-old Jeremiah Medenwald. The State’s Attorney later dismissed the murder charge citing the need for more investigation, but reserved her right to re-file the charge.

Kruger remains in the Richland County Jail. Police continue to ask for information on Kruger between January 16th through January 23rd. Kruger was accused of firing more than a dozen shots at the car Medenwald was driving. Investigators said at the time that Kruger and Medenwald had been together at Dakota Magic Casino near Hankinson prior to the shooting.
