A SWAT standoff with a gunman in the 4000 block of East Freedom Circle ended after five hours Saturday morning when the man surrendered to authorities.
At 1 a.m. deputies with the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene on a report of a local shooting, but when confronted, Jovian Kyndiah, 19, barricaded himself in the home, according to a release.
The SWAT team and negotiators were called to the scene and shortly after 6:00 a.m. Kyndiah surrendered.
A deceased woman was found in the home, dead from apparent gunshot wound. Her name and relationship to Kyndiah are being withheld until next of kin is notified, but her death is under investigation.
Kyndiah is now being held pending charges related to firing a weapon at four deputies.
