Covington Police responded to a report of gunfire inside a home on on Waterside Way in South Covington Sunday night and inside found David Rains, 43, dead from a gunshot wound to the chest. Police found another man, Cody Stafford, 24, inside the home and took him into custody. Back at police headquarters on Madison Avenue, officers learned that a physical altercation had broken out between Rains and Stafford and that it was Rains, the victim, who had the gun originally and fired a shot at Stafford. During the course of the fight Rains lost control of the weapon, Stafford retrieved it and shot Rains to death.

The information obtained by police from Stafford was presented to Commonwealth Attorney Rob Sanders who declined to charge him in relation to the shooting. However, Stafford was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana, possession of heroin, and possession of drug paraphernalia. He is in the Kenton County Jail on a $1,000 bond and is due in court on March 6.
