According to records, Hypes told police he was the victim’s boyfriend and admitted to shooting her during an altercation between the two.
“He would tell us he and (the victim) were arguing and this led to the two of them shoving each other,” a probable cause affidavit filed in Clark County Municipal Court read. “During the shoving Travis said he reached into his right pocket and pulled out a pistol. She shoved him again after seeing the gun, so he shoved her back with both hands. His right hand had the gun in it and as he shoved her ... it discharged.”
Hypes ran to his uncle’s home on East Cecil Street and told him what happened. The uncle told Hypes to tell police about the incident and called dispatchers.
