Vigil held for Marian University student found dead in Omro

FOND DU LAC, Wis. (WBAY) - A vigil was held Tuesday night for a Marian University student found dead in Omro over the weekend.

Authorities identified 20-year-old Johanna Schultz on Monday. She was found dead in an apartment after people heard gunshots. Police arrested a 22-year-old man at the scene after a standoff.

Dorcas Chapel at Marian University in Fond du Lac welcomed many people who paid their respects.

According to the university’s president, Johanna has a bright light, hard-working and ambitious, who embodied the Marian University spirit.

She was a double major in business administration and health care administration and marketing.

“As I encouraged my students this morning, pray for the comfort of her family and pray for more peaceful outcomes,” her marketing professor, David Washkoviak, said. “You know, we’re such a small community of faith, and I think that’s what we’re left with.”

A GoFundMe account was created to raise money to help the family with funeral costs. At the time of this writing, it was $10,000 away from its goal.
