Timothy James Dugan, 36, of Hamilton, Ohio, was found shot to death inside an apartment on Maple Avenue in Hamilton on September 6, 2016. He did not live at that apartment. The Butler County Coroner’s Office ruled his death a homicide and the Hamilton Police Department opened an investigation.

On April 5, 2017, 45-year-old Robert L. Bishop of Hamilton was arrested and charged with Dugan’s murder. A Butler County grand jury indicted Bishop on a murder charge with a gun specification; bond was set at $100,000 and a pre-trial hearing was scheduled. Police reports say Bishop claimed he shot Dugan in self-defense during an altercation over money, but investigators stated the evidence contradicted that claim.

If anyone has information about Timothy, the events at the Maple Avenue apartment, or the altercation mentioned, please come forward.
