Jeremiah Weinberger was 23 years old and lived in Milwaukee. He worked as a bartender and was known to friends as Jerry. On July 5, 1991, Weinberger met Dahmer at a Milwaukee nightclub. Dahmer invited him back to his apartment at 924 North 25th Street, offering money to take photographs. Weinberger accompanied Dahmer to the apartment, where Dahmer drugged him.

The murder occurred inside Dahmer's Milwaukee apartment. Dahmer later told investigators that he drugged Weinberger and subsequently strangled him. He dismembered the body and disposed of the remains. Evidence relating to Weinberger was recovered from Dahmer's apartment after his arrest.

Weinberger disappeared after leaving the nightclub with Dahmer. Following Dahmer's arrest on July 22, 1991, investigators searched the apartment and recovered human remains, photographs and other evidence connected to his victims. Dahmer identified Weinberger as one of the people he had murdered and provided investigators with information about the circumstances of his death.

Jeffrey Dahmer was convicted of Jeremiah Weinberger's murder and received a life sentence without the possibility of parole. Weinberger's remains were recovered following Dahmer's arrest and identified by investigators.

Jeremiah Weinberger was Dahmer's fifteenth known victim and was murdered only five days after Matt Turner, illustrating the extremely concentrated nature of Dahmer's final killing spree.
