COLUMBUS - A newly released 911 transcript of last week's Molt homicide reveals the 33-year-old victim was allegedly gunned down on the front porch.

On October 15, at 5:34 p.m., a friend of 33-year-old Michael Blattie called 911 saying his friend had been shot and Blattie was laying on his porch. Six minutes later the caller tells the dispatcher he believes Blattie was "shot from a distance by a hunter" and there was "not a lot of blood." The transcript goes on to say there were five civilians on scene when deputies arrived but didn't go into further detail.

The Stillwater County Sheriff's Department originally ruled the death as "suspicious" and days later called it a homicide. Nobody has been arrested but authorities say they're searching for "several persons of interest."
