BROWN DEER-While an estimated two thousand people packed the Brown Deer High School Gym for a memorial to Shaun Wild, prosecutors in Illinois were seeking to have the bail for the suspect in his murder either raised or revoked.

Wild, 24, received fatal stab wounds while breaking up a fight at a bar in Naperville, IL where he was a second grade teacher.

Witnesses say the defendant, Daniel Olaska, casually sipped a beer after the stabbing and then walked away.

Police say he would later act as if he had been attacked to avoid detection.

On Thursday, prosecutors asked a judge to raise his $3 million dollar bail or have it revoked.

They say he has piloting experience and fear he would be a flight risk if ever allowed to make bail.

Dozens of Wild's students and Illinois colleagues joined hundreds in Southeast Wisconsin for the visitation at Brown Deer High School.

"There is a reason that there is probably 2,000 people here," family friend Molly Rochford told CBS 58, "not just because of what happened. But because of who he was and I think that really speaks to it."
