Prosecutor: Colerain Township shooting ruled self-defense; 2 face tampering charges
Emily Sanderson
A shooting that resulted in the death of a man has been ruled justified as self-defense, according to a review by the Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office.Colerain police gave an update on the Aug. 16 shooting, saying, following an investigation, the shooting was ruled legally justified under Ohio law regarding self-defense.
Police said an argument led to the shooting, resulting in the death of 42-year-old Matthew McDaniel.
Two men however are facing felony charges for tampering with evidence after attempting to hide firearms.
Police say an investigation determined Perez Crossty, 37, allegedly attempted to conceal his firearm following the incident. He has been charged with tampering with evidence. Crossty was originally named a suspect in a police report, but didn’t specify any charges.
A second man, 26-year-old David Heimpold, has also been charged, accused of removing a firearm from the scene that had been in McDaniel’s possession at the time of the shooting in an effort to conceal it from law enforcement. Heimpold has also been charged with tampering with evidence.
Both Crossty and Heimpold were taken to the Hamilton County Justice Center following their arrests.

Anyone who holds a I.D.10-1/t certification knows that it is the easiest thing in the world to fudge forensic evidence.
All you gotta do it move a firearm from one perps hand to the other perps hand, make the scene LOOK like someone committed suicide, and tell the investigating officers that you were someplace in Cleveland when the whole thing took place, that’s yer story, an’ yer a stickin’ tew it…….
Just for general info purposes. The little AR-7 is a nifty gun. I bought one used for cheap and took it home to fire several dozen rounds through. Worked like a champ. Decided to clean it. Lots of easy to lose parts. I remember thinking at the time “If you clean this in the field you may not have a gun anymore,”
A co-worker who ran a charter boat gave me an AR-7 back in the early 70’s so I put the Barrel on my hobby lathe and took off the covering and made a suppressor out of plumbing parts, I tried it out in my apartment using .22 bb or cb caps. I lined up a couple of phone books and fired a couple of rounds through it. Didn’t work out so I cut up the rifle and shit canned it. Phone books were called telephone books and had peoples phone numbers and addresses inside before cell phones came into vogue and dial telephones were used.
I’ve never fully disassembled mine. I bought it close to 20 years ago and consider it a prime candidate for Rem Oil “cleaning”. Spray the stuff into the action, work it a few times, and wipe down the excess you can reach. Maybe a few Q-Tips or pipe cleaners, a bore snake, and it’s good to go. I haven’t shot mine a whole heck of a lot, but it still works fine for me despite my lack of maintenance. A magazine here and there, maybe one or two rounds at random to take out a varmint… I bought a Rossi Rio Bravo to assume that role, though.
But yeah, the AR-7 is definitely nifty. It takes some getting used to with its ultra-light weight and big stock. If I need something more traditional, I have the Marlin Papoose takedown rifle, along with a bunch of other .22s. For something to stow in or on a pack as a “just in case” gun, though, the AR-7 (or Henry US Survival as it’s known now) is great.
One thing I’ve thought about, but haven’t attempted due to its legality, is fabricating a pistol grip and cutting down a spare barrel to make a pistol. I can’t imagine it being too difficult, but it would also probably be fairly impractical for anything besides a last-ditch defensive gun.
