A 17-year-old boy in Delaware has been charged with murdering his father with a crossbow. Seth H. Ramsay is being held without bail in a juvenile detention facility, authorities said.
According to police, Seth allegedly killed his 41-year-old father because he was afraid he would be angry with him for skipping classes at school.
Police went to the home on Thursday after Todd Ramsey’s co-workers reported him missing from work for a few days, authorities said. Seth answered the door and allowed police to enter the house. Once inside the home, police found the father dead in his bedroom with an arrow wound to his upper torso.
According to the police statement, Seth told the officers that he shot his dad with a crossbow after skipping school. “When they (officers) initially arrived at the house, the two made contact with the man’s teenage son who claimed he may have killed his father,†police said in a statement. “He said that his father was in his bedroom from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Seth said that he knew when his father came out he would be mad so he shot him,†reports said.
Police stated the case is still under investigation and no other motive has yet been established.
Authorities say Ramsay will be charged as an adult with first-degree murder and possession of a deadly weapon.
