Don “Domino” Wagner, a male from Burlington, Wisconsin, was shot to death on August 23, 1992, his body found at a boat launch area in Racine County. Accounts place the killing within the biker “turf war” that pitted the Outlaws Motorcycle Club against the Hells Angels across the Upper Midwest in the early 1990s. Memorial and case write-ups identify Wagner as the victim of a gun homicide in Burlington on that date, with local reporting later referencing the boat-launch crime scene during federal proceedings tied to the Outlaws case.
In the years that followed, federal racketeering investigations into the Outlaws brought a wave of convictions. In October 2000, U.S. District Judge J.P. Stadtmueller imposed life sentences on key Outlaws figures Randall “Madman” Miller and David A. “Kid” Kadlec, among others, for a string of violent acts that prosecutors said grew out of the Outlaws–Hells Angels conflict. Contemporary coverage and later summaries describe witness testimony about multiple killings by Miller during this period, and open-source case notes and biker-crime histories connect Wagner’s 1992 murder in Racine County to the Outlaws’ campaign of violence that formed part of the conspiracy proved at trial.
Although detailed public court records specifically enumerating each predicate act in the federal racketeering counts are sparse online, reporting tied to the trial and subsequent coverage, along with regional crime histories, consistently situate Wagner’s killing within the Outlaws’ operations in southeastern Wisconsin during 1992. Case summaries and community memorials preserve the essentials: a fatal shooting at or near a Burlington-area boat launch in Racine County on August 23, 1992; the broader biker-gang feud context; and the life-term federal sentences for prominent Outlaws members arising from that violent campaign.
