FRANKLIN FURNACE — A Franklin Furnace man who was arrested in the killing of a Kentucky man found dead behind the wheel of a bullet-riddled SUV is facing additional charges.

Jacub Tyler Carver, 25, of Franklin Furnace, was arrested Thursday and charged with murder. On Saturday, the Scioto County Sheriff’s Office announced that Carver was also charged with attempted first-degree murder and second-degree felonious assault.

The case began Thursday evening around 7:46 p.m., when the Scioto County 911 Center received a call about a shooting at 19 Disterdick Lane, Ironton.

When deputies and detectives arrived at the scene, they found Ronnie L. Rowe, 24, of South Shore, Kentucky, dead behind the wheel of a Chevy Equinox that had multiple bullet holes in it.

Scioto County Sheriff David Thoroughman said during the investigation, detectives learned another man was inside the Chevy at the time of the shooting.

The man fled on foot and detectives were able to find him within minutes of walking on US 52 in the area of ​​Franklin Furnace.

Carver was identified as the shooter and was taken into custody.

Carver was initially charged with one count of first-degree murder.

He is currently being held on $100,000 bail and is scheduled to appear in Portsmouth Municipal Court on Monday.

Thoroughman said the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation has been contacted to help process the crime scene.

Rowe was sent to the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office for an autopsy.

Thoroughman said this is still an ongoing investigation that will result in more charges being presented to the Scioto County Grand Jury at a later date.

Anyone with information should contact Detective Sergeant Jodi Conkel at 740-351-1091.
