Coyote hunter killed
January 17, 2006 - Authorities think a Northwest Ohio man was shot after he was mistaken for a coyote by other hunters.
VAN WERT, Ohio (AP) - A man on a nighttime coyote hunt was shot and killed by another hunter in an apparent accident, authorities said.
Trevor Ellerbrock, 27, of Van Wert, was in a field about 9:38 p.m. on Sunday, trying to attract coyotes by using a recording device that played squealing sounds of a rabbit, authorities said.
Two other hunters in the same area - Troy Clark, 36, of Van Wert and a 15-year-old boy - mistook Ellerbrock for a coyote, according to the Van Wert County Sheriff's Office. One of the them fired a round and shot Ellerbrock in the midsection, the sheriff's office said.
Ellerbrock later died at Van Wert County Hospital. Authorities have not identified the shooter.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources and the sheriff's office said Monday that the shooting remained under investigation.
Van Wert is about 100 miles southwest of Toledo, near the Ohio-Indiana line.
