Bodycam footage of officers responding to the scene paint the picture of a seemingly grieving, panicked husband, heard loudly crying, at times hyperventilating and on one occasion, throwing up.
The footage was released on Monday, March 2, by the Tipp City Police Department and the City of Tipp City, and reviewed by PEOPLE.
In one of the videos, which is blurred throughout the time it’s recorded inside the residence, Caleb could be heard screaming “oh my god” several times, and at one point asks the officer, sobbing, “Is she gone?”
He is also heard in the video calling his mother to inform her what happened.
“Ashley’s dead,” he repeats several times, breaking down and wailing, “Mommy, she’s gone.”
“I don’t know what to do,” he says, panting and crying, before hanging up the call.
A few minutes later, he says, “I’m gonna be sick,” and begins to throw up.

“The girls don’t know,” he tells her, before she, too, breaks down. She is identified in the video as the grandmother of the children.
The couple shared two daughters, who were in the residence at the time of the shooting, according to a 911 call previously released by police, as well as the bodycam footage.
A GoFundMe has been set up to assist Ashley’s daughters.
