A man charged with stabbing five people during a July 2022 river tubing excursion in Wisconsin has been found guilty on lesser charges. Nicolae Miu, 54, was convicted in state court on Thursday of first-degree reckless homicide in the death of 17-year-old Isaac Shulman near the Apple River. He was also convicted of four counts of recklessly endangering safety and one count of battery. Miu originally faced the more serious charges of first-degree intentional homicide and first-degree intentional attempted homicide. In addition to fatally stabbing Schulman, Miu was convicted of wounding A.J. Martin, Dante Carlson, Tony Carlson and Rhyley Mattison, along with punching Madison Coen in the face. The attack started with an “unanticipated random encounter” between Miu and the victims, according to the criminal complaint. Miu told investigators he stabbed the victims in self-defense after they stole his property and attacked him. Miu was arrested an hour-and-a-half later. “We’re relieved with the verdict,” said St. Croix County District Attorney Karl Anderson. “As anyone can see in this case, it’s absolutely tragic at so many levels.”
