Man shot to death in Canton



The first time Carolyn Warren called police, she wanted to be rescued from a man she said was trying to break in her door.



Three minutes later, she called back to say the man was in her apartment, but she didn't need to be rescued anymore.



The man was shot dead.



Kenneth G. Riggs, 38, died about 12:30 a.m. Thursday of a gunshot wound to the head. He was shot inside Warren's apartment on Mahoning Road Northeast, less than a block from his home.



Canton Police Lt. Tom Thomas said the two women in the apartment knew Riggs, but he declined to describe their relationship. Police say the shooter is a 31-year-old woman, who Thomas said was identified in the 911 call as Warren's daughter.



The mother apparently made the calls and the daughter allegedly fired a .22 rifle at Riggs twice after he forced his way into the apartment.



Police did not arrest the woman. Thomas said information from the shooting investigation will be turned over to the Stark County prosecutor.



A telephone number listed for Warren was out of order Thursday.



Riggs, who lived in the 2600 block of Mahoning Road Northeast, had a history of arrests in Stark County that stretched back to the late 1980s. Court records include a one-year prison sentence for illegal possession of a firearm and using a weapon while intoxicated. The records also list multiple arrests on charges of assault, aggravated burglary, menacing, drug abuse and violating a protection order.
