WASHINGTON TWP. — A Lakeville man is dead and his girlfriend is in custody, charged with his murder.
The Holmes County Sheriff's Office is investigating the murder of a James L. Rowe Jr., 42, of 7542 County Road 22, Loudonville, who allegedly died after being stabbed multiple times by Bobbi L. Amos-Camacho, 43, of the same address, according to Chief Deputy Richard Haun.

Subsequent to an investigation by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation, it was determined Doney was fatally shot with a shotgun by her boyfriend, Robert G. McVicker, who also died at the home the two had shared from a self-inflicted shotgun wound.
Acknowledging it's a crime that seldom occurs in Holmes County, Sheriff Timothy W. Zimmerly said, “It's always very sad to see a violent crime take place in our community. It affects family and children, who have lost a loved one. We need to keep them in our prayers. We don't like to see this type of thing happen, but it does.”
