Man indicted on murder charges in January death
DAYTON — A man arrested in the Jan. 23 shooting death of Demetrius Frazier has been indicted on four counts of murder.
A Montgomery County grand jury also indicted Deon L. Pinson on two counts of felonious assault and two counts of aggravated robbery. The four murder counts are all as a “proximate result” of the other four charges, according to the indictment handed down Dec. 23.
The grand jury also indicted Demar Maxwell with tampering with evidence in connection with Frazier’s death.
Pinson, 32, turned himself in to police on Dec. 16 after learning that police had obtained an arrest warrant for him.
Maxwell, 21, has been in the Montgomery County Jail since his Nov. 24 arrest. He has since been indicted on a murder charge in another case.
Frazier, 24, was shot multiple times near the intersection of Otterbein Avenue and Layton Drive. He knocked on doors asking for help, but collapsed and died on the front lawn of a home near the shooting, police said.
Pinson and Frazier were friends, police said, and the robbery might have been set up by Pinson. Frazier was an engineering student at Sinclair Community college who was planning to transfer to the University of Dayton, his father Murphy Frazier told the Dayton Daily News in January.
Maxwell and Waymond B. Smith have been indicted on murder and other charges in the Aug. 16 slaying of David Green, 52, at his residence at 1529 Weaver St. Green was shot in the head in what police called a home invasion.
