WAUWATOSA, Wis. – A former Winona State University football linebacker, Clay M. Schueffner, 24, was arraigned for negligent vehicular homicide in the February death of a Wauwatosa priest who was crossing a street. Schueffner, who lives 50 miles away in Fond du Lac County, didn’t enter a plea. Conviction could mean 10 years in prison and a $25,000 fine. The criminal complaint says Schueffner was watching a Snapchat video when Father Davud Gau, age 93, was struck and propelled into the air before landing on the street. Schueffner, in a GMC Sierra pickup truck, was traveling at 42 mph in a 35 zone, police said. This was early the afternoon of February 9 in this west Milwaukee suburb.
