TIPP CITY, Ohio —The husband of the woman found dead in her Tipp City home has been charged with her murder, days after calling 911 to report an alleged home invasion.
Police announced Thursday they’ve arrested 39-year-old Caleb Flynn and charged him with the murder of his wife, Ashley Flynn.
Miami County Jail
The investigation first began when officers responded to the 900 block of Cunningham Court around 2:30 a.m. Monday on a report of a burglary and shooting.
Responding officers were met at the home by an adult male later identified as Caleb Flynn and their two children. Police say Caleb Flynn called 911 to report a burglary and shooting.
At the home, police located the woman identified as Ashley Flynn, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said the two children were sleeping in their rooms when the shooting happened and were unharmed.
Caleb Flynn’s 911 call was released Friday. The call lasted nearly 8 minutes.
Caleb Flynn has now been charged with one count of murder, two counts of felonious assault and two counts of tampering with evidence.
Flynn appeared in court Friday where he pleaded not guilty to all charges. His bond was set at $2 million.
“The Tipp City Police Department appreciates the community’s patience and support while this collaborative investigative team worked diligently on this complex case. We also extend our sincere appreciation to the many agencies that have assisted—and continue to assist—in this investigation involving a tragic loss of life,” the department stated.
Police Chief Greg Adkins said the investigation gave them probable cause to charge Flynn with the murder of his wife.
Court documents filed allege Caleb used a 9mm handgun to shoot and kill his wife.
Tipp City Schools where Ashley worked posted a tribute to the teacher, saying she was “known for her beautiful smile, warmth, kindness, and the positive impact she had on so many—both in and out of the classroom and on the court.”
