WAUKESHA, Wis. - A grim legal battle resumed in a Waukesha courtroom Wednesday as prosecutors continued to lay out their case against Kevin Lychwick, who is accused of killing his neighbor and hiding the body.
Homicide investigation
The backstory:
Lychwick, 63, is charged with first-degree intentional homicide and hiding a corpse. Investigators said he shot his neighbor, 56-year-old Carlos Maldonado, in the head in April 2024. Maldonado's body was not found until October 2024 – wrapped in a plastic tarp, his hands bound by duct tape – in a wooded area near Moreland and North.

What they're saying:
Witnesses, including the lead investigator on the case, took the stand Wednesday. Surveillance video was played that showed Lychwick walking with a plastic bag and other items during the late night hours of April 2024.
"This whole trial is a travesty, and I object to it – this case should have been objected through evidence," said Lychwick.
