The shooting occurred in the 1200 block of Livermore Street around 11 p.m. on Jan. 10.
According to a statement of facts, a woman called Yellow Springs police to ask them to check the welfare of her husband.
“Get somebody here now, please!” She can be heard telling dispatchers in a 911 call.
She told police she was out of town and was going through her cellphone “activations” from the camera system at the home.
The woman saw Muenchau-Peterson, who is her stepson, walk up to the porch and fire several shots into the window of the home, court documents allege.
She immediately tried calling her husband but could not reach him.
Officers arrived at the home and saw a body lying on the floor, the person was declared dead.
Court documents show that Muenchau-Peterson was pulled over by Fairborn police shortly after the shooting.
He agreed to talk to agents with the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigations and both identified himself as the shooter and told them “this was one of the worse things he has done.”
Police have not formally identified the victim as Muenchau-Peterson’s stepfather.
