Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones is offering a 5-thousand-dollar reward for information leading to arrests in a shots-fired investigation in Liberty Township. Deputies were called May 2nd to the area of Granada Court after reports of a large gathering with loud music and gunfire. Detectives later recovered multiple spent shell casings and bullet fragments from both inside and outside a residence. Investigators say evidence included a bullet fragment lodged in an interior wall, along with additional fragments found throughout the yard. Authorities say several people who attended the after prom gathering have been interviewed, but cooperation has been limited. In a statement, Sheriff Jones called the gunfire “reckless and violent behavior” that put innocent lives at risk and created fear in the neighborhood. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Butler County Sheriff’s Office or submit an anonymous tip through Crime Stoppers.
