Tika Katel, a 57-year-old man of Indian ethnicity, died after being accidentally shot in the head on August 10, 2019, in Fairfield, Ohio. He was wounded when his wife, 43-year-old Subha Katel, was handling a handgun that belonged to a cousin who was visiting their home; Tika died two days later at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center.

Subha Katel was charged with negligent homicide, pleaded no contest, and was sentenced on December 19, 2019. Judge Joyce Campbell imposed a $1,000 fine, 180 days in jail, five years of probation, mandatory mental health counseling, travel restrictions preventing leaving Fairfield or Ohio without permission, and a prohibition on owning weapons. Family members described the shooting as a horrific accident and expressed support for Subha, saying the couple had a loving relationship.

Does anyone have information about the circumstances in the house that day or knew the Katels and can add context about what happened?
