Jesse Baize, of Beaver Dam, is charged with murder and failure of a person to report a death of a person, criminal trespassing, and tampering with physical evidence, according to a media release from the Ohio County Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n
The charges against Baize stem from a shooting report in the 15000 block of U.S. Highways 62 East near the Horse Branch community around 3 a.m. Monday.<\/p>\n
When deputies arrived, they said they found a man who was dead at a home.<\/p>\n
Through the course of the investigation, deputies and detectives quickly identified and arrested Baize and lodged in the Ohio County Detention Center.<\/p>\n
Detectives said the investigation remains ongoing and members of the Ohio County Sheriff\u2019s Office are currently searching a nearby lake for additional evidence to the investigation.
