Evan Andrew Holcombe, 19, was shot dead at his home in Oakwood, Ohio, on May 10, 2018. According to a probable cause affidavit, his 73-year-old grandfather, William R. Miller II, fired a warning shot into the ceiling and then shot Holcombe in the chest after the two had been arguing. Miller told a 911 dispatcher he had told Holcombe to leave the house and that Holcombe did not comply. A granddaughter who lived in the home reported hearing the argument and two shots.

Miller was arrested at the scene and charged with aggravated murder, then transferred to a psychiatric hospital for health concerns. He died of natural causes in a Toledo hospital on October 10, 2018, before the case was resolved. The Paulding County Sheriff’s Office has not identified a clear motive for the killing. If anyone knew Evan, his movements that day, or what led to the argument, please share what you know.
