Shooting gets man five years in prison
DAYTON — A man who shot a Trotwood resident last year was sentenced to five years in prison on Tuesday, Jan. 19.
Billy Joe Barrett, 23, pleaded guilty Dec. 29 to two counts of felonious assault and one count of possessing a weapon after a felony conviction.
Barrett was accused of shooting Ronnie Turner at Turner’s home on the 100 block of Morgan Avenue. Turner’s wounds were not life-threatening, police said.
Police said Turner was arguing with a young man who was dating his daughter when Barrett pulled the weapon. When Turner held out his right hand toward the gun, Barrett fired. The bullet passed through his hand then into his shoulder.
Barrett and three others fled the scene in a car, police said.
Barrett has an extensive criminal record, including a juvenile conviction when he was 14 for aggravated robbery, according to court records.
