Maine shooting now labeled homicide


By The Associated Press

ANSON, Maine — Maine state police have now classified the shooting death of a man in his pickup truck in the town of Anson as a homicide.

Law enforcement officials say an autopsy on the body of 60-year-old Everett Cameron was completed, but no details were released on Monday.

Police said Cameron went deer hunting Saturday morning and returned home early in the afternoon. His body was found around 4 p.m. in his truck, which was parked along a woods road near his home. Cameron's truck was towed to the State Police Crime Lab in Augusta.

State police detectives are being assisted by game wardens and Somerset sheriff's deputies. Wardens searched the scene again on Monday for evidence.

I don't know that they have necessarily ruled out a stray shot, by which I assume you mean someone fired a rifle from somewhere else and it ended up hitting the guy in his truck. I think they could still call it a "homicide" even if that happened. They would only would have to rule out the possibility that the gun shot was self inflicted I think in order touse the term "homicide". Homicide simply meaning one person killing another. Now if by some chance it was a stray shot or some sort of accident the person responsible may not actually be charged with murder, but manslaughter or something else yet it would still technically be a "homicide". They obviously are keeping tight lipped until they are father along in the investigation.
