CINCINNATI — The third shooting victim has died in an apparent murder-suicide in East Price Hill, Cincinnati police said.
Shelby Carpenter, 69, and Dustin Bolen, 45, died at the UC Medical Center on Thursday after a triple-shooting in the 700 block of Wells Street Thursday morning around 9 a.m.
Police said Carpenter and Sheila Asher-Hayes, 62, were found shot at the end of the street. They later found Bolen in a wooded area with an apparent self-inflicted gun wound while searching nearby for a possible suspect.
Both Carpenter and Bolen later died at UC Medical Center. Asher-Hayes died at the hospital March 1.
Neighbors said Carpenter was Bolen's father. Court documents show that Carpenter was also Bolen's landlord. It's unclear if Asher-Hayes has any relation to either of them.
According to the documents, Carpenter gave Bolen an eviction notice on Dec. 15, 2023, saying Bolen and anyone else in the home needed to move out on or before Jan. 31. Carpenter proceeded to give Bolen another notice on Feb. 1 for failing to move out within 30 days, stating that he needed to move out on or before Feb. 4.
On Feb. 8, Carpenter sued to evict Bolen with the Hamilton County Municipal Court.
Bolen was supposed to appear in court Thursday at 9:30 a.m., about 30 minutes after the apparent murder-suicide, according to court documents.
