Dad Poses as Daughter, 11, to Lure Alleged Rapist to Home and Shoot Him

The father is accused of using TikTok to confront the suspect after video evidence surfaced, and both men now face felony charges.

  • A Grove City father faces felonious assault charges after allegedly posing as his 11-year-old daughter on TikTok to lure Diego Montoya Gonzalez to their home, where he shot the suspect twice.
  • Following a July 15, 2026, report of sexual assault, the mother discovered video evidence on her daughter's phone, prompting the father's vigilante response and leading to Montoya Gonzalez's arrest on July 22.
  • A grand jury set the father's bond at $100,000, while the Franklin County Common Pleas Court set Montoya Gonzalez's bond at $50,000 cash or surety and $20,000 recognisance, drawing criticism over the disparity.
  • Investigators recovered additional videos from Montoya Gonzalez's phone showing abuse of other children, including an infant, while he received treatment at Grant Medical Center for gunshot wounds.
  • The shooting has divided the community over due process and vigilante violence, with neighbour Terrie Shirkey stating, "I can see why he went after him," though she stopped short of endorsing violence.
