'I shot through the door, because he was coming in': Ohio father, 52, LAUGHS in interview with cops hours after shooting dead his daughter's ex-boyfriend when he tried to storm their home and admits the firearm wasn't registered to him

A father who shot dead his daughters’ ex-boyfriend as he tried to break into their home can be seen laughing with officers during his interview hours after the killing.

Mitchell Duckro, 52, shot his daughter Allyson’s former boyfriend James Rayl 22, three times after he showed up unannounced to their home in Sidney, Ohio, on July 31.

New footage obtained by DailyMail.com show Mitchell recalling the moments leading up to the shooting, telling officers at Shelby County Sheriff’s office that he was ‘nervous’.

Rayl had dated Duckro’s daughter, Allyson, 22, previously but the pair broke up a year and a half before the tragic incident.

Allyson told cops that she had broken up with Rayl in 2019 because he was 'just being a d***' and in the aftermath, she was forced to block him on social media.

Mitch claims that he tried to get Rayl’s attention by shouting his name from the garage door but was ignored, so locked it to ensure he didn’t ‘sneak in’.

Describing the moment that he shot the gun, Mitch said: ‘I noticed he started to jiggle the handles and stuff to see if it was locked and that was when I went up to the door.

‘I wanted to make sure he wouldn’t force his way in. I’m pretty sure I was telling him to stop and leave and get off my porch or something.

James Rayl, 22, waited at the front door of Allyson Duckro moments before her father shot him three times when he tried to break in

Duckro, pictured being interviewed by cops, told police that he shot the man three times through the window part of the door after repeatedly telling James to get off his porch

Stacie told neighbors that they already called the emergency services and initially was told not to approach as they thought he had a gun.

She can then be heard screaming 'he tried to get to our daughter' and 'he tried to break in'.

Hereford then asked 'did you shoot him?' before they shouted back 'yes!' at him, and he replied 'he's not moving, he ain't going nowhere'.

Two other neighbors can also be seen standing around looking, as they waited for the police.

They said 'he's barely breathing, he's having a hard time breathing' and 'I don't see any blood' before wandering over to Rayl's body, adding 'he's dead'.

The Duckro’s $436,000 property in Ohio has also been put up for sale since the incident.

Rayl was pronounced dead at the scene by first responders, with an autopsy ruling that he sustained two gunshot wounds to the shoulders and a fatal wound to the back.

In his final voicemail to his ex, Rayl says: ‘Hi Ally it’s James, I just wanted to reach out to you because I just wanted to see how you’re doing.

‘And maybe hear from you if that would be alright I guess. It’s been a while since I’ve talked to you and I don’t know, I feel like, I don’t know what I feel.’

Duckro reportedly replied to him saying ‘what’s up’ after receiving the voicemail, despite claims by the family that it was ‘scary’.

Sources have also claimed that Allyson had previously worked with the Sheriff's department as a dispatcher.

A grand jury ruled 8 to 1 that Duckro should not be indicted on a felony charge, under the ‘Stand Your Ground’ ruing in Ohio State legislature.

The legislation and 'Castel Doctrine' laws allows homeowners to use lethal force when threatened.

On the 911 call Allyson Duckro can be heard praising her father, saying: 'Dad, there's nothing you could have done, you saved my life.'

In a joint statement Shelby County Prosecutor and Shelby County Sheriffs office said: ‘The front door was a solid wooden door with a deadbolt.

'The deadbolt was found to be in the locked position and the casing to the lock side of the door was broken.

‘Three holes were found in the decorative glass window in the door and three hollow point 9mm spent cartridges were found on the floor. The weapon was located on the mantel of the fireplace.

‘The occupants of the residence were identified as Mitch Duckro, Stacy Duckro and Allyson Duckro, and initial interviews of the Duckros were conducted at the scene.

‘Mitch Duckro indicated he fired the weapon and admitted to discharging it three times. Allyson Duckro said she was familiar with James Rayl, as they dated each other until they broke it off a year and a half earlier.

‘She made law enforcement aware of a voicemail that Rayl had left for her late in the previous evening.’

Rayl’s family have launched a ‘Justice for James’ campaign, saying that he was ‘murdered’ by Duckro and that ‘justice will be served’.

His sister, Jessica, also posted online: ‘Mitch shot him in the back and killed him. And we know more than just that Mitchy.

‘I hope your days are more miserable than they've ever been. You're a disgusting excuse of a human being along with your daughter.’
