Second teen sentenced in North Fond du Lac shooting

On Monday, June 9, 2025, Fond du Lac County District Attorney Eric Toney announced that Noah Metcalf was sentenced to six years of initial confinement and six years of extended supervision as a result of his participation in a 2023 shooting in the village of North Fond du Lac.

Metcalf, who was 15 at the time of the shooting, was said to be a party to a crime along with then 19-year-old Jaysen Fix, who shot several rounds from a gun into a house in North Fond du Lac in the early morning hours of September 4th of 2023.

The house was occupied by two people at the time of the shooting with one sustaining a hand injury as a result of the shooting.

Fix was previously sentenced to nine years of initial confinement and nine years of extended supervision.

Both were sentenced by Fond du Lac County Circuit Judge Douglas Edelstein.

District Attorney Toney stated “Gun violence has a chilling effect in a community and causes fear to the victims and the community. This will never be accepted, regardless of age or who the defendant is. We are grateful nobody was killed in this shooting but the emotional trauma and the loss of a sense of security cannot easily be fixed.”

Initially, Toney recommended 10-12.5 years of initial confinement and five years of extended supervision, but additional investigation by the North Fond du Lac Police Department resulted in the District Attorney’s Office being unable to proceed on attempted homicide charges, as they could not be proven, and those charges were amended to 1st-Degree Recklessly Endangering Safety.
