Fayette County Man shot by wife–dies

A Fayette County man has died after being shot by his wife in a dispute over breakfast oats earlier this year. The argument and shooting followed a night of doing drugs. Rachel Eutsey allegedly grabbed a revolver from her father’s bedroom after John Maki allegedly threw a baseball bat out of an open door and began to yell at Eutsey about the oats. She told police she pointed the gun at Maki and fired in an attempt to scare him. However, the shot struck Maki in the head.
Police said the couple’s 8-month-old child was said to be filthy and in a state of neglect, and the child is now in the custody of Fayette County Children and Youth Services.

Eutsey will now likely face a homicide charge.
