POMEROY An Easter morning homicide in the Village of Pomeroy is under investigation, according to Meigs County Sheriff Keith Wood.
Sheriff Wood stated that the shooting was reported around 5 a.m. in the Legion Terrace area of Pomeroy (across from the former Wild Horse restaurant).
The victim, a male, was transported to the Holzer Meigs ER where he died of his injuries. The identity of the victim has not been released.
Wood stated that the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) is assisting with the investigation. He added that multiple people are currently being interviewed in connection with the shooting. No one has been taken into custody as of 11 a.m. on Sunday.
Video from a police body camera proved crucial during an administrative review of an incident in 2019 in which a Sugarcreek police officer shot and killed a man who had stabbed the officer.
Elijah Collins III, of High Point, N.C., stabbed Capt. Brian Dalton twice in the neck with a screwdriver on June 26, 2019. The assault occurred after Dalton cited Collins for damaging property after driving into an area where trucks were prohibited.
Video from Dalton s body camera was reviewed both by village council members and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation. Council concluded that Dalton handled himself correctly in the situation.
