An Arkansas father was arrested after allegedly shooting and killing a man who was found in a vehicle with the father's missing 14-year-old daughter. The father, Aaron Spencer, 36, reported his daughter missing on Tuesday, prompting Lonoke County Sheriff’s Office deputies to respond to his home. However, before deputies arrived, Spencer discovered his daughter in a vehicle with Michael Fosler, 67, leading to a confrontation between the two men that resulted in Spencer shooting and killing Fosler.
Spencer was arrested on a preliminary charge of first-degree murder, a Class Y felony, and was subsequently booked into the Lonoke County Detention Center. Sheriff John Staley stated that Spencer has not yet been formally charged, with the District Attorney’s Office set to determine the appropriate charges to file.
