Juanita Maloon, 53, was found dead at her Greenville, Ohio home at 2535 State Route 571 on March 13, 2025. The Darke County Coroner ruled the death a homicide from a gunshot wound to the head. Investigators say her husband, 57-year-old Josiah Joe Maloon, beat and shot her before another person arrived at the residence.

About 2:15 p.m. the same day, 47-year-old Randy Ward II of Ansonia arrived for a prearranged transaction. While Ward was retrieving cash from Joe Maloon’s vehicle, Maloon emerged and opened fire, striking Ward several times. Ward escaped in his Dodge Challenger but was pursued by Maloon in a Nissan Pathfinder; Maloon continued shooting and rammed Ward’s car. Both vehicles crashed into fields near Coletown-Lightsville Road. Maloon’s SUV rolled, ejecting him and killing him at the scene; a handgun believed linked to the killings was found nearby. Shell casings and a white powdery substance in packaging were also recovered and sent for testing. No arrests have been made and no other suspects are being sought.

Did anyone know Juanita or have information about activity at the Maloon residence that day?
