A disgruntled mail carrier accused in the slayings of his supervisor at the Dublin post office and a postal inspector outside her apartment complex has been charged with aggravated murder.
The worker is identified in Franklin County Municipal Court records as 24-year-old DeShaune Stewart, of Columbus. Stewart is accused of fatally shooting 52-year-old Lance Dempsey shortly before 4:30 a.m. Saturday at the post office in Dublin. Police say Stewart then drove to a Columbus apartment complex nearby and shot the postal inspector, 53-year-old Ginger Ballard, in a parking lot nearly three hours later. Police say Stewart had been facing dismissal from his job.
