Jury acquits man of felonious assault charges
DAYTON — A man charged with shooting another man who was walking with his girlfriend and her baby was acquitted of all charges Wednesday, March 31, in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court.
David Dewberry, Jr., 27, was on trial from Monday through Wednesday before Judge Mary Wiseman. The jury deliberated for a few hours Wednesday before returning the verdict.
Detectives said Dewberry jumped out of an SUV in the DeSoto Bass Courts housing complex Sept. 23 and shot an 18-year-old man after Dewberry made a derogatory comment about the victim’s girlfriend. Dewberry fired a dozen shots at the couple after the victim confronted him, witnesses and police said in the fall.
The girlfriend, pushing a child in a stroller, fled to safety. The victim ran to a residence on Bass Street.
U.S. Marshals arrested Deweberry Oct. 6 at 85 Benning Place. He was charged with two counts of felonious assault and one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm.
