A Wisconsin bartender and her “inseparable” husband were shot and killed in a sports bar last week and authorities are still searching for the “coward” behind the mysterious double murder.
Sports Page Barr employees Gina Weingart, 37, and Emerson Weingart, 33, were killed in the fatal shooting that was heard shortly after midnight last Thursday, Elkhorn police said.
Multiple agencies rushed to the scene after receiving a call of shots fired at the business.
When law enforcement officers arrived, they found the couple – who had just married last summer – with fatal gunshot wounds but a killer was never found.
Business owner Jordan Barr said a “coward” walked into the bar and started shooting in a Facebook post.
“Their lives are just beginning, and I believe I speak for our entire Sports Page family when I say we are completely devastated by what has happened,” Barr wrote. “It was a despicable act of violence that has shaken us all to our core.”

No motive has been revealed so far and police have not released any information about the suspect.
The married couple have been at the bar for a long time and have grown close to the staff and customers. Gina was eventually offered a part-time gig at the establishment, Barr wrote.
Both victims grew up in the Badger State and married in June, according to their obituaries.

Emerson was an avid fisherman and a huge Green Bay Packers fan while Gina enjoyed singing and dancing, the online tribute said.
“Gina and Emerson started dating in 2020 and became inseparable,” their loved ones wrote. “Gina and Emerson Weingart recently got married in June 2023. Two of the most beautiful, kind and fun-loving couples you will ever meet.”
Elkhorn is a city of about 10,000 people and is about 40 miles from Milwaukee.

Emerson’s father, Jeff Weingart, is hoping someone will come forward to provide police with information that could lead to an arrest.
“It’s heartbreaking,” he told WIS over the weekend. “Someone saw them. Someone saw them. I don’t care, you don’t pull something like that.
“I can’t believe that it’s just him and him in the bar. So somebody saw them, and somebody had to give a description of them, and somebody had to see the car when he drove away, and they better find it.”
