A family dispute in a Harmar RV ended in homicide on February 26, 2020. David Howard, 47, was killed after a confrontation with his son began over the son’s girlfriend and child. The argument turned physical when Shane Howard struck his father in the head twice with a fire extinguisher, causing David to fall. Shane then picked up a shotgun and shot his father in the back of the head.

Shane fled the scene with the shotgun and a rifle but later contacted a friend, who persuaded him to turn himself in after seeing blood on his hands. At about 3:17 a.m., Shane walked into the Harmar police station and confessed, saying he had accidentally killed his dad. He was arrested and charged with homicide and tampering with physical evidence.

David Howard is remembered as a skilled tradesperson, avid outdoorsman, and father of three—Shane, Shiloh, and Samantha—and a grandfather. Does anyone have information about David, the RV on Guys Run Road, or that night that could add detail to the timeline?
