CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — A woman was arrested this week after being indicted on charges of murder and involuntary manslaughter in connection with the April death of a Chillicothe man.
Morgan Baxter, 27, is behind bars after her Friday evening arrest. It came ten months after Ethan Sams was killed in Chillicothe.
It’s alleged that Sams was shot inside a home near Poland Park in April. Baxter is accused of loading Sams up into a car and taking him to Pike County while he bled out from the gunshot. Chillicothe Police confirmed to the Guardian that a short time later Sams was found and died at the hospital.
Sams’ family and friends were outraged for the last ten months, calling for the arrest of Baxter in connection with the death. While police have not released who shot Sams, Baxter is charged with his death.
She will face an arraignment next week.
