SPRINGFIELD, Ohio -- A man was shot and killed during a home invasion attempt late last night, Oct. 15, but police are still hunting for his two accomplices.

Police say three black males wearing hooded sweatshirts and Halloween masks broke into the home at 214 W. Southern Avenue around 11:30 p.m.  However, the homeowner wasn't helpless -- he fired at the armed invaders, killing 26-year-old DeMarkis Jones.

The other two men fled the scene.  Springfield police are asking anyone with information about the incident or the two suspects to call (937) 324-7680.
