In a harrowing turn of events, the tranquil waters of the Apple River in Wisconsin became the scene of a grisly crime on July 30, 2022. As a group of young tubers enjoyed a summer day on the river, a seemingly innocuous encounter with 54-year-old Nicolae Miu escalated into a deadly confrontation. The recently released Apple River stabbing video, presented as evidence in Miu’s trial, sheds light on the chilling details of this senseless act of violence that claimed the life of 17-year-old Isaac Schuman and left four others wounded.

The Incident:
On July 30, 2022, a group of young tubers set out to enjoy a summer day on the Apple River in Wisconsin. Little did they know that their lives would be forever changed by a violent encounter with 54-year-old Nicolae Miu. The victims, ranging in age from 17 to 24, found themselves in a confrontation that quickly escalated, resulting in the tragic death of 17-year-old Isaac Schuman and leaving four others wounded.

The Video Evidence:
Crucial to the case against Nicolae Miu is the Apple River stabbing video, which captures the chilling moments leading up to the deadly incident. The footage, presented as evidence in Miu’s trial, shows the initial confrontation between Miu and the group of tubers. Key moments in the video depict the escalation of the conflict, with accusations flying and tensions rising. The reactions of those involved, caught on camera, paint a vivid picture of the chaos and horror that unfolded on that fateful day.

The Trial:
Nicolae Miu now faces serious charges, including first-degree intentional homicide in the death of Isaac Schuman and multiple counts of attempted first-degree intentional homicide for his alleged role in stabbing the other victims. As the trial commences, the prosecution presents a compelling case, arguing that Miu’s actions were unjustified and that he had ample opportunity to walk away from the confrontation. However, the defense maintains a different perspective, claiming that Miu acted in self-defense after being surrounded and attacked by the group of tubers.

Witness Accounts:
Witness testimonies shed light on the initial encounter between Nicolae Miu and the group of tubers. According to accounts, Miu was accused of looking at young girls underwater, a claim he denies, stating that he was searching for a lost phone belonging to a friend. The situation quickly escalated, with witnesses describing how the conflict intensified, ultimately leading to the stabbing. In the aftermath, frantic 911 calls were made, and the victims were rushed to receive medical attention.

Arrest and Investigation:
Following the incident, Nicolae Miu was swiftly identified and apprehended by law enforcement. During questioning, Miu made statements to the authorities, claiming that he acted in self-defense and was unaware of the whereabouts of the knife he allegedly used. However, a member of Miu’s group later revealed to investigators that they had seen him throw an object onto the riverbank before rejoining them. The weapon was subsequently recovered by investigators and tested positive for the DNA of several victims.

Anderson said when Miu was in the back of a squad car at the scene, he allegedly said to the sheriff, “What’s going on? I hear somebody got stabbed and I fit the description.” Miu was then told he was under arrest for homicide and attempted murder.

When he was interviewed later by law enforcement, Anderson said Miu was surprised to find there was video of the attacks. He told investigators he didn’t have a knife, but members of Schuman’s group were armed with knives. Miu allegedly said they knocked off his goggles and snorkel and threw them in the water and they tried to pull his pants down.

“I just grabbed the kid’s knife. I didn’t even know if I was holding it right. I just grabbed it from him because he tried to poke me with it, so, I feared for my life,” Miu said, according to a transcript shown in a slide by Anderson.
