$1 Million Bond Set for Omarion Horne in Winton Hills Killing Alleged as ‘Russian Roulette

The case now moves to a Hamilton County grand jury on Oct. 16.

Overview

  • Police say they were called to Kings Run Court around 10:45 p.m. on Oct. 5 and found 23-year-old Rachel Counts with a gunshot wound; she was pronounced dead despite lifesaving efforts.
  • Prosecutors allege Horne pulled out a revolver during a card game, removed all but one round, said “let’s play Russian roulette,” then pointed the gun at Counts and fired.
  • Horne, 23, was arrested the next morning, charged with murder, and is being held at the Hamilton County Justice Center.
  • A judge set bond at $1 million after prosecutors outlined the allegations, while the defense argued the shooting was not intentional and requested a $100,000 bond.
  • A judge commented that treating a firearm like a toy would make the circumstances a tragedy if proven, and the allegations have not been adjudicated.
