A long‑running family dispute in Muncie ended in gunfire on January 23, 2022. Timothy Lee Hahn, 52, was shot once in the chest in the 1500 block of South Rochester Avenue after an altercation with his cousin, Kenneth Ray Burden, that witnesses say began when Hahn pushed Burden off a porch. Emergency responders attempted resuscitation but Hahn was pronounced dead.

Burden was later found hiding in a residence on South Biltmore Avenue and arrested without incident; he was preliminarily charged with murder. Two others, Angela Kay Doughty, 55, and her son Jeremy Duane McKee, 36, were also arrested on preliminary charges of assisting a criminal, and McKee faced separate charges of possession of cocaine and carrying a handgun without a permit. Burden has claimed self‑defense, saying Hahn approached him with a stick, but investigators report witness statements and scene evidence suggesting the shooting was premeditated. Mental health evaluations have been ordered for Burden as the case moves toward trial.
