Chester Collins, 52, died on January 14, 2017, in South Point, Ohio, after a domestic dispute with his wife, Amy Collins, 50, turned deadly. Amy told investigators Chester had been threatening her life and assaulting her during the day; she slipped outside and called her daughter for help. The daughter’s boyfriend, Robert A. Miller, 29, and his father, Gary G. Miller, 52, both of Willow Wood, Ohio, went to assist.
As the vehicle moved onto County Road 407, Robert and Gary confronted them. Gary tried to remove Amy from the truck; Chester would not comply and allegedly assaulted her. Robert then produced a rifle and fired several shots through the windshield, striking Chester in the torso and head. Lawrence County EMS attempted resuscitation but Collins was pronounced dead at the scene. The Lawrence County Sheriff’s Office is investigating and the case will be presented to Prosecuting Attorney Brigham Anderson for review; no arrests have been announced.
Does anyone have information about the incident, the people involved, or witnesses who were on County Road 407 that day?
