Mountain Home resident Paul James Assaf was shot and killed Tuesday night when he allegedly attempted to break into the residence of one of his relatives, according to an updated news release from Mountain Home Police Chief Carry Manuel.

In an earlier news release, Manuel said police received a call at approximately 9:41 p.m. Tuesday night. The caller told police they had just shot an individual who was breaking into their home.

Personnel from the Arkansas State Police are assisting MHPD with the investigation, Manuel said.

Assaf's body was transported to the Arkansas State Crime Lab for analysis, according to the chief.

The investigation into the fatal shooting is ongoing, according to Manuel who said once the investigation is completed, the information will be turned over to the prosecuting attorney's office for determination of whether charges will be filed.

Manuel did not provide any further information in the releases, including how the suspect and the homeowner were related and if the homeowner understood it was a relative entering the home.

A check of online court records indicates Assaf has not faced a felony charge in Baxter County.
