Fight over dog led to Newark store shooting
Adispute over ownership of a dog led to shots being fired outside the Newark Walmart on Jan. 8, police reports said.
Police were called to the Walmart at 1315 N. 21st St. about 5:10 p.m. on reports of a possible shooter at the store.
Officers were able to determine that there was no active shooter and that no one had been wounded.
Surveillance video from the store and witness statements indicated that a man, later identified as 37-yearold Kyle A. Daugherty of Newark, was leaving the store when a woman with whom he’d had a relationship ran toward him, then stopped several feet away.
The video showed the two arguing before Daugherty pulled a firearm out of his waistband and fired at the woman.
A shell casing was found in the area. Police found Daugherty at a nearby restaurant and took him into custody.
Daugherty, who is on federal probation for a drugrelated offense, told police he had fired the shot but the woman was armed with a knife, though no knife was apparent in the video, court records said.
Daugherty is in the Licking County jail in lieu of a $500,000 bond after being charged with felonious assault.
Reward offered in double shooting
Central Ohio Crime Stoppers is offering a reward for information leading to an arrest in the shooting of two women outside a nightclub that left one of the women paralyzed.
The shooting occurred about 12:45 a.m. Sept. 22 outside the Sunrise Bar in the 900 block of East Hudson Street.
One of the women was struck in the upper back after getting out of a vehicle. The second woman was struck in the neck while sitting in a chair in the parking lot.
