Richard M. Flynn, 42, was shot and killed in the early morning of September 15, 2016, after an altercation in the yard of a home in Wisconsin Rapids. Flynn had been out for drinks with Trina Kusters and, when Trina returned to the Grand Rapids home she shared with her husband, she and Mark Kusters reportedly saw Flynn looking in their windows. Mark Kusters, then 58, confronted Flynn outside with a Mossberg shotgun and shot him; Flynn suffered gunshot wounds to the chest and abdomen and was airlifted to a Marshfield hospital, where he died less than two hours later.

Kusters was arrested and charged after investigators documented threats he had made toward Flynn and a phone entry labeling Flynn as DEADBOY. A recording captured Kusters in a police vehicle saying he had shot Flynn. At trial the defense claimed the shooting was accidental, alleging Trina Kusters pulled on her husband’s collar and caused the gun to discharge; the prosecution relied on the prior threats. In November 2017 a jury found Mark Kusters guilty of first-degree reckless homicide, a class B felony.

Did anyone know Richard Flynn or have information about his movements in Wisconsin Rapids on September 14–15, 2016?
