DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Three men have been indicted on federal charges connected to the death of an Ohio police detective.
Fifty-five-year-old Dayton detective Jorge Del Rio was shot Nov. 4 while working with a federal drug taskforce serving a search warrant. He died days later.
Federal prosecutors say 39-year-old Nathan Goddard Jr. was indicted on nine counts, including deliberately killing Del Rio. They say 40-year-old Lionel Combs III and 39-year-old Cahke Cortner are charged with brandishing and discharging a firearm resulting in death by murder in a drug trafficking crime.
All three also face drug-related charges. They previously were ordered held without bond.
Goddard’s lawyers declined to comment Thursday, as did Cortner's attorney, who previously said Cortner had a gun legally and didn't fire it.
A message was sent to Combs’ lawyer.
