MOUNT HOPE, Ohio -- Officials have new information Tuesday in the case of a man shot to death after pelting cars with tomatoes.

NewsChannel5's Brad Harvey reported that investigators in Holmes County and Crime Stoppers are hot on the trail of the irate motorist they think committed the murder.

Holmes County Sheriff Timothy Zimmerly said that even though no arrest is imminent, officials might have identified a suspect in 23-year-old Steven Keim's death.

"We're going to be a ways away from an arrest at this point," he said. "We've got it narrowed down to a pretty good suspect, and we'll just have to continue with the investigation."

Results from the Bureau of Criminal Identification's investigation of evidence taken from two homes just 5 miles from the cornfield where Keim was shot are not expected back until the end of the week. Meanwhile, investigators are still re-interviewing witnesses and piecing together theories about exactly what happened.

The behavior of the shooter after the crime could be very important to the investigation, according to officials. Witnesses said that after he fired the deadly shots across the field, he drove back past the crime scene very calmly a couple of times before turning down a country road and then driving off.

Investigators said that brings up the question whether he ever intended to hit anybody and whether he ever knew that he had.

"If he meant that it was intentional, that he hit someone, or if he was shooting into the field to scare the boys (who) were in there, at this point we're not sure," Zimmerly said.

That information could affect how a suspect is charged.

Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of up to $2,000 for information leading to an arrest and indictment of the shooter. Call (216) 252-7463 with any information that can help officials.
