According to prosecutors, a father in Ohio shot his 24-year-old daughter with a pistol during an argument that “revolved around smoking in the house.” When he was interviewed by police, he “expressed zero remorse” about the incident.

According to the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office, Franklin Thompson, 64, of Sycamore Township, was arrested on a charge of first-degree murder after he was found strolling a block away from his residence with the murder weapon in his pocket following a shooting that occurred early Monday morning. Rebecca Thompson, his daughter, was discovered by her 18-year-old sister with a gunshot wound that proved to be fatal. This occurred after Thompson had shot at her many times.

According to WLWT, a local NBC affiliate, prosecutors expressed their concerns during Thompson’s initial court appearance on Tuesday, saying, “If he’s willing to do this to his own daughter, we’re very concerned about what he’d be willing to do to a stranger if he were to be released.”

According to neighbors, Thompson is a “nice guy” who has never been known to be violent. This information was reported by WKRC, which is affiliated with CBS and CW. According to the police report, authorities claim that he underwent a “recent brain operation” that has resulted in “lasting issues.” However, the report does not specify what those issues are. According to the prosecutors, Thompson and his daughter were supposedly arguing about smoking in the house when he shot her at 1 a.m. on Monday. It is not known who was smoking.

According to WXIX, a local Fox affiliate, “Thomson was subsequently interviewed by sheriff’s detectives and admitted to shooting his daughter several times during a verbal interaction,” as stated in his arrest complaint.

According to reports, Thompson resided with the victim and her sister in a house located in the 12000 block of 6th Street in Sycamore Township, which is a suburb of Cincinnati.

Neighbor Edgar Martinez told WKRC, “They are just a normal family.” “This is unfortunate.”

Vidalinda Roblero, who lives nearby, stated, “He was extremely good … He greeted the family when we first moved here.

Thompson has a record of minor traffic violations, a 2023 arrest for trespassing at a Kroger grocery store, and a 2003 charge for stealing cable television, according to online court records. According to WKRC, his wife divorced him in 2016 and accused him of abuse, although he was never arrested for anything relating to domestic violence.

On Tuesday, Thompson was ordered to be jailed on a $1 million bail as he waits for his next court date. The date for the grand jury has been scheduled for February 6.
