A man was recently shot in Ohio by a homeowner when he entered the homeowner’s residence while attempting to flee from a woman attacking him, reports Fox19.
Ebony Stenson, a 39-year-old woman, was charged with murder after a man she allegedly attacked was shot and killed.
She was in the car with 48-year-old Henri Jennings, when an argument started. Official reports say that Stenson sliced at Jennings’ head with a box cutter.
Seeking to escape the onslaught, Jennings left the car and began to run away, at which time, Stenson tried to run him over with the vehicle.
Jennings then ran to a home and let himself in. The homeowner, who had been watching television, was scared and reports say he dialed 911.

Police say that at first, the homeowner and Jennings simply fought physically, but that the homeowner “feared for his life” and, defending himself, fired three shots at Jennings.
Jennings was hit but was able to pull himself outside of the house, where he died.
Later it was announced that the homeowner would not be charged as he was simply defending himself while on his own property.
Stenson, the initial attacker, faces a charge of murder.
“Ohio law states that if a person dies as a result of a felony, anyone involved in committing the felony can be charged with murder,” the Cincinnati Enquirer explained.
Stenson is being held on a $750,000 bond and has a court date in the near future.
If you commit an armed robbery, and your accomplice shoots and kills someone in the process, you are just as guilty for the murder as the guy that pulled the trigger. That’s the way the law works. This is no different. She is guilty of murder. Fortunately, the prosecuting attorney recognized that the homeowner was the innocent victim in the matter. He’ll have to deal with the consequences of killing a person for the rest of his life. That’s the sad part.
Sounds like everything went the way it should.
Sounds right to me.
Speaks volumes about criminals…….fleeing for his life and while doing that attacks the home owner where he seeks refuge!
The usual demographic!
Two down…many to go.
I do not care about these people.
Great law and removes 2 pieces of generational government fund sucking human sewage from the public. One permanently. It’s a good day.
Has the author never heard of “felony murder?”🤔
For the love of pete, why are you stooping to the liberal’s level here? This is a pretty clear cut case of felony murder. No need for a click-bait headline, this is what I expect from the likes of vox. Here is a non-vox headline for this: Woman Charged with Felony Murder After Man She Assaulted Shot and Killed in Self Defense Shooting.
Good call. She definitely caused the death and the home owner’s right of self defense is upheld.
