Man sentenced to 20 years in slaying
DAYTON — A man who pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter in the November shooting death of a Millersburg man was sentenced Monday, May 4, to 20 years in prison.
Jesse McIntyre, 28, of Clarksville, also pleaded guilty to felonious assault, being a felon with a firearm, and several drug-related felonies when he appeared April 16 before Montgomery County Common Pleas Judge Timothy O’Connell.
McIntyre admitted to shooting Rufus Childers, 33, at 4266 Cardinal Ave., Harrison Twp., on Nov. 18. The house is owned by Childers’ friend, Charles Lunsford.
But McIntyre told O’Connell on Monday that Childers pulled a gun on him first as McIntyre was trying to sell him drugs.
“I didn’t show up there that day to kill anybody,” McIntyre said, adding that he was sorry that Childers’ children would be raised without a father. “I’m sorry for their loss. I wish it had worked out differently.”
O’Connell responded “I don’t think that’s really what the facts are.”
Childers, who was shot twice in the head and once in the chest, after McIntyre and some other people arrived looking to sell prescription drugs recently stolen from a pharmacy near Cincinnati, investigators said.
Childers allegedly refused to buy the pills and that’s when McIntyre fired several times, hitting Childers in the chest and head, Sheriff Phil Plummer said. Medics found Childers dead underneath a Christmas tree in the living room.
None of the other suspects had been indicted as of Monday.

Guy fired a gun in the comission of a felonly and killed someone. 20 years is less than what he would have gotten in FL for just firing the gun! He’ll do it again.
