Man shoots woman in Russian roulette gone wrong, cops say
NEW CASTLE - A 21-year-old man is accused of shooting a New Castle woman Wednesday night in what police called a game of Russian roulette gone wrong.
Tyler Lloyd Culver-McMillan was charged Thursday in the shooting of Nicole Duddy at her home, 1148 Crestview Gardens, around 6 p.m. Wednesday.
Culver-McMillan has no known address, according to documents filed by New Castle police with the office of District Judge Melissa Amodie.
According to the court documents, officers were called to Duddy's home immediately after the shooting. At that time, police said she was bleeding from her left buttock and complaining of abdominal pain. Officers did not find an exit wound for the bullet.
Duddy told police an unknown man had come into her home and tried to rape her before shooting her. Based on a description provided by Duddy, police apprehended a man who said he was Dajuan Walker, although officers were unable to verify that identity.
New Castle police said that they were preparing to interrogate Walker when Lawrence County's 911 center told them that Duddy wanted to talk to police again. In that conversation, Duddy changed her initial report.
Duddy told police that the attempted-rape report was false and that she had been in her apartment with two men, Culver-McMillan and a second man who was not charged, when Culver-McMillan began playing with a revolver.
Duddy said she told Culver-McMillan to put the gun away because she was concerned about her safety and that of her son, who also was in the apartment.
Police said Culver-McMillan responded by unloading all but one chamber of the revolver, spinning the chambers Russian roulette-style, and put the gun to Duddy's left buttock before pulling the trigger.
The gun discharged, injuring Duddy, and Culver-McMillan and the other man ran off. Duddy said she made up the rape story because she feared reprisals from Culver-McMillan's family, according to the court documents.
After talking with Duddy, police questioned the man who claimed to be Dajuan Walker and he admitted that he was Culver-McMillan. He was then arrested by police.
Duddy was taken to St. Elizabeth Health Center in Youngstown, Ohio. WPXI-TV (Channel 11) reported Thursday that Duddy was in critical but stable condition, but a spokeswoman for St. Elizabeth said the hospital had no
information on her treatment.
Culver-McMillan has been charged with aggravated assault, illegal firearm possession, carrying a firearm without a license, reckless endangerment, simple assault and harassment.
After arraignment before Amodie, Culver-McMillan was placed in the Lawrence County Jail on $250,000 bond.
