The house where an Ohio father shot dead his daughter’s ex-boyfriend after he tried to barge his way through the locked front door has gone under contract after only 12 days on the market.
The three-bedroom bungalow in Sidney, Ohio – 80 miles north west of Columbus – was put up for sale on August 5, less than three weeks after the killing, and was described as a ‘little piece of paradise’.
Mitchell Duckro, 52, shot James Rayl, 22, three times through the door after he showed up unannounced on July 31, and began barging at the door while Duckro yelled at him to leave, saying he had a gun.
Rayl had dated Duckro’s daughter, Allyson, 22, previously but the pair broke up a year and a half before the shooting.
Rayl left his ex-girlfriend a voicemail the night before the shooting, saying he wanted to see how she was doing.
Tim Sell, prosecutor for Shelby County, and Shelby County Sheriff Jim Frye on August 5 announced a grand jury decided Duckro should not be charged. The house was put on the market the same day.

Kristi Bayhan, a realtor with Fathom Realty, who is handling the sale, confirmed to DailyMail.com on Tuesday the house was under contract.
The home, set in a 1.29-acre lot, features a swimming pool and 1,824 square feet of living area.
It has a large basement and a four-car garage.
The expansive bungalow, built in 2000, is surrounded by agricultural land.
The agreement for the sale of the home came as new footage obtained by DailyMail.com showed Mitchell, his wife Stacy, 51, and Allyson being interviewed by officers, moments after the shooting.
Chilling Ring camera footage caught the moment Duckro fired through the front door of his property on North Kuther Road, killing the unarmed Rayl.
Rayl can be seen trying to push his way into the property, as Duckro says: ‘James no, get off my porch.’
Duckro then can be heard saying: ‘I have a gun,’ before shooting him.
Rayl, shot three times, staggers away from the door before collapsing in the driveway of the property, with only his feet visible on the camera.
Neighbors are also seen running out after hearing gunshots.
They left Rayl dying on the floor for at least seven minutes before law enforcement arrived, and tried to save his life.

One of the neighbors, Jeffery Hereford, can be seen walking across the Duckro’s front lawn, saying ‘don’t shoot me’, and ‘he don’t have no gun’.
He then said: ‘he’s dead, he’s shot’ and ‘he ain’t moving’.
He and two others discuss Rayl’s body for seven minutes, without trying to help, as Rayl lay dying.
Stacy told neighbors that they already called the emergency services and initially was told not to approach, as they thought he had a gun.
She can then be heard screaming ‘he tried to get to our daughter’ and ‘he tried to break in’.
Hereford asked: ‘Did you shoot him?’
The Duckros shout back that they had shot him, and Hereford replied: ‘He’s not moving, he ain’t going nowhere’.
Allyson appears to be smiling in an interview with officers, and was heard in a 911 call telling her dad he ‘saved her life’ after Rayl allegedly tried to break into the home

Rayl was pronounced dead at the scene by first responders, with an autopsy ruling that he sustained two gunshot wounds to the shoulders and a fatal wound to the back.
In his final voicemail to his ex, Rayl says: ‘Hi Ally, it’s James, I just wanted to reach out to you because I just wanted to see how you’re doing.
‘And maybe hear from you if that would be alright I guess.
‘It’s been a while since I’ve talked to you and I don’t know, I feel like, I don’t know what I feel.’
Duckro reportedly replied to him saying: ‘What’s up?’
Sources have also claimed that Allyson had previously worked with the Sheriff’s department as a dispatcher.
A grand jury ruled 8 to 1 that Duckro should not be indicted on a felony charge, under the ‘Stand Your Ground’ ruing in Ohio State legislature.
The legislation and ‘Castel Doctrine’ laws allows homeowners to use lethal force when threatened.
On the 911 call Allyson Duckro can be heard praising her father, saying: ‘Dad, there’s nothing you could have done, you saved my life.’
In a joint statement Shelby County Prosecutor and Shelby County Sheriffs office said: ‘The front door was a solid wooden door with a deadbolt.
‘The deadbolt was found to be in the locked position and the casing to the lock side of the door was broken.
‘Three holes were found in the decorative glass window in the door and three hollow point 9mm spent cartridges were found on the floor. The weapon was located on the mantel of the fireplace.
‘The occupants of the residence were identified as Mitch Duckro, Stacy Duckro and Allyson Duckro, and initial interviews of the Duckros were conducted at the scene.
‘Mitch Duckro indicated he fired the weapon and admitted to discharging it three times. Allyson Duckro said she was familiar with James Rayl, as they dated each other until they broke it off a year and a half earlier.
‘She made law enforcement aware of a voicemail that Rayl had left for her late in the previous evening.’
Rayl’s family have launched a ‘Justice for James’ campaign, saying that he was ‘murdered’ by Duckro and that ‘justice will be served’.
His sister, Jessica, wrote online: ‘Mitch shot him in the back and killed him. And we know more than just that Mitchy.
‘I hope your days are more miserable than they’ve ever been.
‘You’re a disgusting excuse of a human being along with your daughter.’
