A grand jury has indicted a Corbin man on a murder charge in connection with the August shooting death of his daughter's boyfriend.

Police say Bill Cox, 55, shot Ryan Abner, 21, to death in the middle of a Corbin street. The grand jury also indicted Cox on wanton endangerment charges for firing the gun into a vehicle. His daughter and her baby were passengers in the car.

A man claiming to be Cox called 911 after the shooting. During the call, he says Abner "beat on" his daughter.
