Darke County Sheriff’s deputies responded around 4:20 p.m. Sunday to the 100 block of West Main Street in Gettysburg on a shooting, according to the sheriff’s office.
Layton White, 29, of Union City, Indiana, was pronounced dead on the scene.
A witness told a detective they saw Martin force his way into a home and get into a fight with a woman who lived there, according to court documents.
“Layton White intervened to try and protect [the woman],” an affidavit read. “Martin went to his vehicle and returned with a handgun. He then shot L. White and even followed the victim further into the street and shot him again.”
Martin then fled but was found less than a half hour later in Troy, according to the sheriff’s office.
He was taken to the Miami County Jail and was later transferred to Darke County.
