Case Of Slain Local Couple Ruled Murder-Suicide

Columbus Division of Police

Columbus police say the case of a couple found dead in their South Side home on Tuesday is a murder-suicide. Police say 46-year-old Troy Stone shot and killed his 51-year-old girlfriend Kathy Shonkwiler, then took his own life at a home on Lewis Road. Police believe problems in the relationship and Stone's physical health were the motives.
