LIBERTY TWP., Ohio (WKBN) One person is dead and another is behind bars after a shooting in Liberty Township Sunday night.<\/p>\n
Liberty police got the call at 10:49 p.m. about an incident on Keefer Road. Thats where they found 31-year-old William Bryan Ross, II shot to death. <\/p>\n
Police said 55-year-old Felix Olverson, Ross roommate, is the suspect.<\/p>\n
The two had been arguing via text about finances and when Ross came home, Olverson shot him on the front porch, police said.<\/p>\n
Olverson ran away with his dog, but police found him later in nearby woods and arrested him. They say a weapon was also recovered and believe it be the gun that killed Ross.<\/p>\n
Investigators believe Olverson has a prior conviction, which would have prevented him from owning a firearm. <\/p>\n
By his admission, he obtained it on the street a few days prior to this, said Capt. Ray Buhala. <\/p>\n
Neighbor Cassidy Ouellette is shocked that the shooting happened so close to where she lives. <\/p>\n
Its extremely scary. I dont even know how to feel. I think Im still in shock to be honest, she said. <\/p>\n
Buhala said the neighborhood is fairly quiet, but officers have been called to that house before. <\/p>\n
With the exception of this residence, we do not have many calls in that area. Over the course of the past year, I think we responded to seven different calls this residence, Buhala said. <\/p>\n
Olverson was arraigned Monday in Girard Municipal court on murder charges. He is being held in the Trumbull County Jail. <\/p>\n
