An updated news release from the Cowley County Sheriff’s Office Monday afternoon has added more information to a fatal shooting late Sunday night near Cambridge in rural Cowley County.
According to authorities, a bondsman was at the residence of 38-year-old Jacob Cole Nettrouer the night he was shot.
One sheriff’s deputy was present outside the residence at 17698 271st Road and one was on their way to do a civil stand-by for the bondsman, who was at the house to take Nettrouer back to jail for a bond revocation.
The bondsman was making contact with Nettrouer when the shooting occurred.
“This was not an attempted arrest by law enforcement,” the news release stated. “When deputes heard gunfire they immediately made contact with the victim and attempted life saving measures. A preliminary autopsy lists the cause of death as a single gunshot wound. The case continues to be investigated and it will be turned over to the Cowley County Attorney for review.”
No arrests have been made.
