Scioto

Police began evacuating a several-block area west of downtown shortly after 7 a.m. and closed off several highway exits near the Scioto River.

The inscription ceremony took place against the backdrop of Mound City, a sacred gathering place and burial ground that sits just steps from the Scioto River.

Mr. Myers was the editor-in-chief for the Scioto Valley Guardian, a newspaper in Ohio, when he was charged last year with felony wiretapping after publishing a recording of in-court testimony in violation of a court order.

Special prosecutor Angela Canepa argued that the defendants were in and out of Pike and Scioto counties the night of the crimes and the killings were part of a single course of conduct.

Patel fired a single shot at the suspect then called the police, who later made the arrest after a high-speed chase, the Scioto Post reported.
