Authorities in Arkansas arrested a 36-year-old father earlier this month after he allegedly shot and killed a man who was driving with his missing 14-year-old daughter.
The father, Aaron Spencer, was taken into custody on suspicion of first-degree murder in the shooting death of Michael Fosler, 67, according to Lonoke County Sheriff John Staley. However, a local gun rights group has claimed that the shooting was an act of self-defense. The girl’s mother also stated that Fosler had groomed and raped her daughter.
Sheriff Staley mentioned in a statement on October 10 that the investigation is ongoing, and it will be up to prosecutors to decide whether to formally charge Spencer.
