COLUMBUS, Ohio — The suspect accused of killing a man his driveway while trying to break into his wife's car near Galloway two months ago was arraigned on Friday.
Derek Hotelling, 31, was indicted on several charges on Wednesday, including murder, for the death of 39-year-old Joshua Moyer.
Court records say Moyer was leaving for work early on the morning of May 12 when he found Hotelling rummaging through his wife's car in the area of Parkglen Road and Baytree Drive.
Moyer confronted Hotelling and tried to detain him until officers could arrive, police said. A struggle ensued and court records say Hotelling shot Moyer.
Moyer was found by his wife and pronounced dead by medics about 20 minutes after the shooting. His death was the 53rd homicide in Columbus this year.
Hotelling was also indicted on charges of theft, aggravated robbery, aggravated murder, tampering with evidence and having a weapon under disability. He is being held on a $2 million bond and is currently in the Franklin County Jail.
