Overview
- Aaron Spencer, 36, was arrested on a preliminary first-degree murder charge after allegedly shooting Michael Fosler, 67, who was found with Spencer's missing 14-year-old daughter.
- Fosler had been previously arrested and released on bond for charges related to stalking and sexually assaulting Spencer's daughter, with a trial set for December.
- Spencer's wife, Heather, claims Fosler was a family friend's boyfriend who groomed and raped their daughter, and that the family had a no-contact order against him.
- The shooting occurred after Spencer found his daughter in Fosler's vehicle, leading to a confrontation where Spencer reportedly acted in self-defense.
- Legal experts suggest Spencer's defense may argue 'heat of passion' or self-defense, which could potentially reduce or eliminate his charges.
