Police: Shooter could turn self in; girlfriend tampered with getaway car
DAYTON - Police are hoping the man they believe shot Joshua Adams in the neck during a robbery set up as a drug deal on Monday, Feb. 16, turns himself today.
Homicide detectives arrested the suspect’s girlfriend, Kionna S. Scott, 19, on charges of obstructing justice and tampering with evidence on Wednesday, Feb. 18, after questioning her at police headquarters, Lt. Patrick Welsh said.
Scott moved a car and “wiped it down,” her boyfriend, known on the street as “Ace,” used to leave the scene of the shooting at 2112 Oakridge Drive at 9 p.m. Monday, according to police.
The Buick Roadmaster was found by Wright State University police near campus grounds on Wednesday and the car was towed back to Dayton for processing, according to police.
Adams, 23, is fighting for his life at Miami Valley Hospital and has not regained consciousness, according to police.
Adams along with his girlfriend, Brittany Young, and another person, drove about 70 miles from St. Marys to Dayton to buy a large amount of heroin, according to police.
Adams had $1,000 cash on him when he walked into the house on Oakridge. Police believe Ace took the cash and shot Adams in the neck.
Young declined comment when reached Wednesday night, only to say Adams is “hanging on.”
Police are not releasing Ace’s real name because it could affect their investigation, Welsh said. Ace has retained an attorney who has been talking with police, Welsh said.
