A Big Spring father could soon be facing murder charges following the death of his daughter’s boyfriend.

Just before 8:00 a.m. Friday, officers with the Big Spring Police Department responded to 600 Linda Lane in reference to a gunshot victim.

According to Chief Chad Williams, 47-year-old Justin Kuhn and his girlfriend were having a very heated argument at her parents house where they both live.

Her father, Stephen Oyler, 68, entered the room with a sawed off shotgun. Oyler fired his weapon striking Kuhn in the chest.

Kuhn was pronounced dead at the scene.

Oyler has been arrested and charged with possession of a prohibited weapon. The investigation will determine if murder charges will be filed.
