Gaige Grosskreutz (28) has apparently asked a Milwaukee County Judge to change his name. He as asked for the proceedings and the details to be sealed from public view.
Grosskreutz was 26 years old when he pointed a gun at a then-17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse on August 25, 2020. He was then shot by Rittenhouse in the arm. Rittenhouse was acquitted by a jury for the shooting. At that point in his young life, he had had at least six arrests. His criminal arrest record goes back to 2007, when he was only 14 years old. We do not have his juvenile records, as Wisconsin statutes prohibit police from releasing them.

During the riots, Grosskreutz was photographed many times holding a pistol. A little more than a month after the shooting, Grosskreutz told TMJ4 reporter Stephanie Haines that he had a valid concealed carry permit. He testified during the Rittenhouse trial that he did not have a valid CCW license. After KCE contacted TMJ4, they issued the following correction:
“Editor’s note: This story was published in September of 2020, before the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse. During the trial we learned Gaige Grosskreutz’s concealed carry permit was expired.” KCE believes the Concealed Carry License was revoked, not expired. Here is a copy of Grosskreutz’s license that he posted online. The licenses didn’t expire until 1/10/2023. The WI DOJ likely revoked his license, meaning he lied under oath and T. Clair Binger knew it, or should have known it.
Simply put, Grosskreutz committed perhaps several crimes on August 25, 2020, but was never charged by progressive District Attorney Michael Graveley.
Wis Stat. §786.37 Allows for a name change to be done confidentially, but Grosskreutz will have to show “by a preponderance of the evidence, that publication of his or her petition could endanger him or her and that he or she is not seeking a name change in order to avoid a debt or conceal a criminal record.”
Is Grosskreutz asserting that he is in danger? Is he trying to conceal his criminal record? If the Judge sides with him, the public might never know.
KCE reached out to Grosskreutz’s attorney Kimberly Motley, who threatened to have this author arrested and sued for writing this article.

Grosskreutz, a man with a continuous thirst for trouble, is just one of Reprobate DA Mike Graveley’s many friends in low places.
That clown didn’t want to change his name collecting all that go fund me, or when he was on the news trying to be a claim to fame. Charges should be brought in for the CCL that you stayed. That definitely was known by the DA
Is he changing it to Lifetime Lefty?
His only name change should be to have it changed to all uppercase letters, with an exclamation point afterwards. Maybe change his pronouns from “is” to “mostly is”?
Change it to Lefty Housebreaker Monocep?
Too many chromosomes or not enough? Hahahahahahahahahahaha
Play stupid games win stupid prizes!!! He’s lucky he missed center mass!!!! Actually we as a society would be better off had he hit center mass!!!
I love the Harvard shirt, he truly is what I think of now when I think of Harvard.
You have made Illinois the laughing stock of the Midwest. Thanks.
If he changes his name how will the city of Kenosha know who to send his ten million dollar check to??♂️??
Read up about Kimberly Motley. Born to a Black Father and Korean mother, has done EXCELLENT human rights work as a FEMALE lawyer in Afghanistan. Yes that’s right, an AMERICAN FEMALE human rights lawyer in Afghanistan! Sad to see her stoop to such levels ) :
^truly honorable stuff
Permission for the name change should be denied, to protect the public from an obvious danger.
If anyone needs to change their name, it’s our district attorney. Needs to be changed to former district attorney. https://dailycaller.com/2022/10/02/opinion-fight-crime-vote-republican-murdock/
This POS slapped his grandmother? You can’t get much lower than this tool.
Big ups to the dude who said ‘Lifetime Lefty’ that hilarious!
GG go bye bye ?
BREAKING: Gaige Grosskreutz reports that the petition was to change his name to something less conspicuous so that he may live in obscurity. Here is the list of preferred names he submitted to the Court:
Shmelly Grosscrotch
Woke Shmellycrotch
[note: state laws prohibit convicted felons with shmelly kreutzes from changing their names unless there is clear danger to life or bicep]
How did a convicted gun felon get a Concealed Carry License?
His new name is Paul Prediger
