PIKE COUNTY, Ohio — Three people are now in custody in connection to the death of a man in Pike County two weeks ago.
The Pike County Sheriff's office said they received a 911 call at 9:20 a.m. on Aug. 21 from a home in the 2200 block of Muddy Fork Road in Bainbridge where the caller said a man had been shot and was still alive.
When the coroner arrived at the home, they pronounced 65-year-old Christopher Martin dead.
After an extensive investigation, the sheriff's office says detectives identified Aaron Dale Cox, Ashley Lynn Landrum and Dalton James Boyd as the three individuals who allegedly killed Martin.
On Aug. 28, the sheriff's office received information on the suspects' locations in Highland County.
The Pike County Sheriff's Office, Highland County detectives and other units went to locations on Overman Road in Hillsboro.
Cox and Landrum were taken into custody without incident. Highland County detectives also served a search warrant on a resident in the 7700 block of Overman Road where a numerous amount of drugs and a firearm was found and seized as evidence.
Cox was charged with murder and was given a $1 million cash-only bond in court on Monday.
Landrum is in custody in Ross County on unrelated charges, but a warrant has been issued for her on a murder charge.
Boyd was taken into custody on Monday and is being housed at the Scioto County Jail waiting on arraignment on charges of murder.
