Loved ones remember Conneaut woman killed in apparent domestic violence shooting

Описание: The Conneaut community is grappling with loss after an apparent domestic violence incident ended with one woman dead.

The Conneaut Police Department (CPD) says 45-year-old Nathan Sumner turned himself in early Wednesday morning after confessing to shooting his girlfriend, Heather Harris.

“Heather was a social butterfly, positive, bubbly, just the life of the party,” said Conneaut resident Sheri Seal. “You know she had a big impact on my life.”

Seal says she met Harris in 2019 and the two became fast friends. Tuesday evening, Seal said she talked on the phone with Harris for the last time and she was panicked.

“She was whispering and she’s just like, ‘call me back whenever you have a few free minutes to talk.’ I told her I could talk right now, she was whispering and she’s like, ‘I can’t,’” said Seal.

Though Seal knew something was wrong, she didn’t know what was happening at the home Harris and Nathan Sumner shared.

Conneaut Police Chief Michael Crosby says Sumner walked into the police department just before 1 a.m. Wednesday morning and told dispatch officers he killed his girlfriend.

Officers took him into custody and then drove to the home. According to Crosby, officers discovered Harris dead on a couch from multiple gunshot wounds.

Police charged Sumner with murder, and in a Wednesday hearing, a judge set Sumner’s bond at $500,000. He is currently being held in a holding cell at the Conneaut Police Department.
