Published on July 14, 2026
On February 8, 2026, at approximately 10:40 p.m., deputies with the Franklin County Sheriff's Office responded to a report of a deceased individual at a residence in the 200 block of Postle Boulevard in Prairie Township.
Upon arrival, deputies located 72-year-old Harold Everette Moore suffering from a gunshot wound to the head. Fire Department medics responded to the scene and pronounced Mr. Moore deceased at 11:08 p.m.
Detectives with the Franklin County Sheriff's Office determined that several valuable items, including the victim's vehicle, had been stolen from the residence.
On February 9, 2026, at approximately 3:00 p.m., Franklin County Sheriff's Office patrol deputies located the stolen vehicle traveling on West Broad Street in Columbus.
Deputies conducted a traffic stop and detained the driver, identified as 44-year-old Roger Daugherty. Through their investigation, detectives linked Daugherty to the homicide.
Investigators determined that Daugherty had gone to the victim's residence with the intent to commit a burglary and, during the commission of that offense, fatally shot Mr. Moore.
Detectives determined the incident was a targeted crime and not a random act of violence.
Daugherty was charged with Murder, Aggravated Burglary, and Tampering with Evidence.
He remains incarcerated at the Franklin County Jail.
Update: As the investigation continued, Franklin County Sheriff's Office detectives identified additional individuals who assisted Daugherty after the homicide by helping conceal evidence related to the crime and/or by receiving property stolen from the burglary.
