Lucas Stuhr, the man accused of shooting and killing 41-year-old Cliff Grice in Janesville on Wednesday, claims he “blacked out” during the incident, according to a criminal complaint.

Stuhr appeared in Rock County Court on Friday, facing one charge of first-degree intentional homicide.

The complaint says Stuhr was upset after his off again/on again girlfriend began seeing Grice.

On the night of the shooting, the complaint says Stuhr went to Grice’s house, where he shot Grice in the driveway multiple times.

Stuhr’s ex-girlfriend says she knew he owned a 9 mm handgun with “The Punisher” logo on it and that he had threatened in the past to shoot himself. She says Stuhr also threatened several times to kill Grice since finding out she and Grice were romantically involved, according to the complaint.

Reports say Stuhr then drove from the scene, eventually giving himself up to police in neighboring Green County.
