Charles W. Semans, 84, was shot during a domestic argument with his 17-year-old grandson, John Rash, on Memorial Day, May 26, 2014, at a home in the 7000 block of Willow Grove Road in Camden-Wyoming, Delaware. Investigators say Rash retrieved a shotgun and fired once, striking Semans in the abdomen. Troopers and medics took Semans to Christiana Hospital; he died on May 29, 2014, and an autopsy attributed his death to a single gunshot wound to the abdomen.

In the immediate aftermath Rash was taken into custody and charged with assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, held on $40,000 secured bond while detectives continued their investigation. Weeks later prosecutors dismissed the case against Rash and dropped the charges that followed Semans’s death. Authorities did not identify any other suspects in reporting at the time.

Does anyone have information about the argument that led to the shooting or about the case after the charges were dismissed?
