Alleged shooter faces foreclosure

The man accused of shooting Island businessperson Sue Normand is facing foreclosure on his property in Bradenton.
Documents filed at the Manatee County Courthouse indicate that the Bank of New York is moving to foreclose on Koenigs’ residence at River Point of Manatee in Bradenton.
Koenigs was served the notice at the Manatee County jail, where he has been held since early December 2007, after his arrest on charges in connection with the shooting of Normand at her store, Island Mail & More, in Holmes Beach.
Koenigs also has been sued by Countrywide Home Loans Inc. for alleged lack of payment on the mortgage loan he took out in October 2005.
The last payment on the loan from Koenigs was in June 2007, according to court documents. He still apparently owes $275,304 plus interest and other costs.
Meanwhile, a preliminary trial date in the unrelated shooting case has been set for early June.
In that case, Koenigs faces four first-degree felony charges and one third-degree felony charge. Authorities say he walked into Island Mail & More with a gun in a shipping box, removed the weapon and shot Normand once in the hip. He was apprehended on the beach, after being shot three times by Manatee County Sheriff’s Office deputies. |
