A Darby man, 43 year-old Jamie Conway, is in custody charged with aggravated assault and deliberate homicide after a shooting that occurred in a Hamilton residence at about 10:30 p.m.

Hamilton Police Chief Ryan Oster spoke to KGVO News on Saturday and related what happened.

“Around 10:20 p.m. on Friday night, officers were dispatched to the 600 block of North Sixth Street in regards to a male who had suffered a gunshot wound. When they got there they located a male who was deceased as a result of a gunshot. They determined that there had been several individuals in the residence who were all acquainted with each other.
