Suspects Held In Coach’s Wife Death

Police say they believe two men now in jail may have shot and killed the wife of the New Albany High School football coach.

New Albany Police Chief David Grisham says the Union County Sheriff’s Office arrested two men in their 20s Thursday on unrelated theft charges. On Friday, the chief declined to identify the men, who are being held in the Union County jail on parole violations.

Grisham says new witnesses linked the men to the Dec. 5 shooting death of Amanda Price. He says the men could be charged next week. Police believe Price went outside with her dog and startled the men, who shot her.

Coach Ron Price was shot while responding to his wife’s screams. He was treated and released from a hospital.
