CINCINNATI — A Cincinnati woman was found dead on Saturday inside her own vehicle in Tennessee after being kidnapped outside a home in Westwood, according to Hamilton County court documents.
On Friday around 11:50 p.m., Cincinnati police responded to the 2800 block of Temple Avenue for a report of shots fired. When they arrived, they found evidence of a shooting and a possible kidnapping, CPD said in a press release. Investigators said the victim, 36-year-old Kaitlyn Ashley Lynch, was likely injured and held against her will in her own vehicle.
"I heard five shots and an immediate two afterwards," said Andrew Kenton, a neighbor in the area.
On Saturday, officers in Cheatham County, Tennessee arrested 32-year Lance Mason Miller, of Abbott, Texas, after they found him inside the vehicle next to Lynch's dead body, according to court documents.
Before the arrest, Miller led different law enforcement agencies on a multi-county chase early Saturday morning that started in Wilson County and ended in Cheatham County, according to WCPO's sister station in Nashville, WTVF News Channel 5.
Investigators said Miller was finally stopped after spike strips were used on westbound I-40 near mile marker 243.
Miller is facing a murder and a kidnapping charge in Ohio. According to investigators, Miller allegedly shot Lynch and then took her car.
He is currently in the Wilson County, Tennessee jail where he's facing additional charges, including evading arrest and abuse of a corpse.
The relationship between Miller and Lynch is not known at this time.
It is unclear when Miller will be extradited to Hamilton County to face the murder and kidnapping charges.
This is a developing story and will be updated once more information becomes available.
