KIEL, WI (WTAQ) – Wisconsin State Trooper Trevor Casper was only on the job for a few months, after recently graduating from the State Patrol Academy in December.
The 21-year-old Kiel native was alone on patrol for the first time Tuesday, when he was killed in a shootout with murder and robbery suspect Steven Snyder.
Kiel Police Chief Dave Funkhouser says funeral arrangements are still days away. He says Trevor Casper will most likely be buried in Kiel, with full police honors.

You can donate to it in-person at any branch location of National Exchange Bank & Trust. The account is titled “Benefit for Wisconsin Trooper Trevor Casper”. You can find locations listed on the bank’s website.
There’s also a way to donate online through GoFundMe.
