Detectives recovered multiple firearms from Nash’s home, including a 7.62×39-caliber rifle, a .40-caliber handgun and a .22-caliber Magnum revolver, and several 7.62×39 casings were found at the scene. Nash has been charged with murder and the case was being prepared for presentation to a Wyandot County grand jury.
