BATAVIA TWP., Ohio — A 22-year-old wanted in connection to a Clermont County shooting that left one woman dead has turned himself in, the sheriff's office said.
Police issued an arrest warrant for Jaydon Maurice Pierce on charges of aggravated murder and attempted aggravated murder after 39-year-old Casey Hamblin Moss was shot and killed in Batavia Township.
Chief Deputy Christopher Stratton said officials responded to the 3800 block of Magnolia Drive, just off Amelia-Olive Branch Road, at around 6:45 p.m. Jan. 17 after receiving a 911 call from a woman who said her son came home with his girlfriend, who had been shot.
When they arrived, deputies found Casey Hamblin Moss unresponsive in the driveway of a home with a single gunshot wound to the head. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
The sheriff's office said Ryan B. Vest sold Moss and her boyfriend drugs at a Wendy's near Buxton Road. When he felt he "was shorted money," he demanded the couple return the drugs, officials said. Court documents say Vest chased the couple around the area, then pulled up next to them on Bach Grove Court and fired a single gunshot, hitting Moss in the head.
According to court documents, Pierce was a passenger in Vest's vehicle when the drug deal and subsequent shooting happened. A previous BOLO issued for a vehicle associated with him was canceled after investigators located it.
Pierce turned himself in Thursday night. He is being held in the Clermont County jail on a $4 million bond.
