Oberlin professor found dead in double shooting after car fire

Oberlin police have identified Pipo Nguyen-Duy, a studio art and photography professor at Oberlin College, as one of two victims killed in a double shooting. Investigators discovered the bodies of a 64-year-old man and a 47-year-old woman inside a residence on South Pleasant Street. Both individuals had sustained multiple gunshot wounds.

The investigation began on Wednesday morning with a car fire on the Oberlin College campus. Police traced the vehicle to its owner and placed him in custody. Shortly after securing the suspect, officers located the two victims in the nearby home. Authorities have not yet released a motive for the killings.

Charges are pending against 31-year-old Daniel Jones, who resides in Ashland, Oregon. Police have not specified the exact charges at this time. The college has confirmed that counseling resources are available to the community as the investigation proceeds.

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump returned to Ohio to campaign for Republican candidates ahead of the midterm elections. He addressed supporters in Chillicothe on Wednesday night, urging voters to head to the polls. The president has held more than 20 rallies across the country this month.

In Ohio, Trump endorsed Republican Senator Jon Husted, who is challenging former Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown. Trump told the crowd that the state's efforts to host a future U.S. Space Academy could depend on the outcome of Husted's race. Ohio began its bid for the academy in September, when Governor Mike DeWine announced a steering group to lead the proposal.

A Cleveland organization named EDWINS is launching a new mentorship program in response to recent youth violence. The four-week training initiative is open to young people ages 14 and older. The program started following a string of deadly shootings that impacted the EDWINS community, including the death of 17-year-old Jaden Tunson near Buckeye Road.

EDWINS will combine culinary and job training with mentorship, grief counseling, conflict resolution, and trauma support. Several Cleveland-area restaurants have already committed to hiring students who complete the program. Applications are currently being accepted, and the program is scheduled to start on November 9.
