Police say the 63-year-old called 911 around 9 p.m. Wednesday night, stating he shot his son after being attacked by him with a bat.

“He was distraught. He was destroyed based on the situation,” said Lieutenant Scott Sonneborn Olmsted Township.

Once officers arrived on the scene, they found the 29-year-old unresponsive with a gunshot wound to the chest as well as a 9-millimeter gun allegedly used.

“It was an argument that involved the baseball bat. It wasn't over the baseball bat. It was a domestic situation over bills and property,” said Sonneborn.

Corey was transported to a nearby hospital, where he later died.

Donald was taken into custody.
