PATASKALA, Ohio — A woman has been charged with murder in connection with the fatal shooting of a Licking County man earlier this month, 10TV's Jason Frazer reported on Thursday.
Richard Reeb was found shot to death inside a West Fieldstone Drive home during the early morning hours of July 17. Deputies went to the house after getting a 911 call from his live-in girlfriend, Sherrie L. Chafin-Eucker.
Chafin-Eucker, 48, told dispatchers that she and Reeb had been fighting and then Reeb shot himself.
"On the 911 call she makes the comment that they were struggling over the firearm," said Licking County Sheriff's Colonel Chad Dennis.
When deputies arrived, Chafin-Eucker, who answered the door naked and covered in blood, led them to Reeb's body in an upstairs bedroom, Frazer reported.
While she claimed the shooting was an accident, Dennis said there were holes in the story.
"The scene just wasn't matching with what she was saying," he said.
Chafin-Eucker turned herself into authorities on Wednesday after a warrant was issued for her arrest, Frazer reported.
She was charged with one count of murder, but deputies said additional charges were possible.
