Already charged with murder, Dalcapone Alpaccino Morris faces other charges
DAYTON — A Dayton man whose unusual name has made him an Internet star is accused of shooting a man six days after he was indicted for an unrelated murder.
Dalcapone Alpaccino Morris, 21, remains at large while the U.S. Marshals-led Southern Ohio Fugitive Apprehension Strike Team continues to search for him.
On Wednesday, Aug. 12, charges including two counts of felonious assault and one count of illegal discharge of a firearm were filed against Morris stemming from a July 21 incident, according to court records.
In that incident, a 29-year-old man was shot in the back in the 400 block of North Williams Street at about 12:30 a.m. Dayton police Sgt. James Mullins said at the time that he had seen the man about 15 minutes before the shooting wiping down the bumper of a car parked on Williams. Police found a container of car wax on the vehicle, leading them to believe the man might have been polishing the car when he was shot.
Just six days before the shooting, a grand jury indicted Morris and another man, 19-year-old Michael D. Guy, on charges of murder, aggravated burglary, aggravated robbery and felonious assault. The men are accused of shooting and killing Richard A. Pogue Jr. on June 2 at 1369 Kingsley Ave. in what police called a robbery attempt.
William Taylor, supervisory deputy for the Marshals Service for the Southern District of Ohio, encouraged anyone with information about Morris’ whereabouts to contact the Marshals Service at (937) 225-2917. Morris is believed to still be in the Dayton area, Taylor said.
Morris was also indicted in 2008 on a charge of possession of cocaine, and the charge has been deferred, according to court records.
Morris’ name has gained him mention on the popular crime Web site The Smoking Gun as well as a November 2008 episode of “Countdown with Keith Olbermann.”
TweetDayton sees 4 suspicious fires in 19 hours
DAYTON — The Dayton Fire Department is investigating four separate structure fires that burned within 19 hours as suspicious, a department assistant chief said.
Jeffrey Payne, the Dayton fire assistant chief, said the set of blazes that began with a house fire Wednesday morning, Aug. 12, that led to two firefighters receiving medical treatment is unusual for its frequency.
“Four working fires in 24 hours is considered a heavy day,” Payne said. “That’s heavier than we usually get this time of year. We’ll get garage fires, but as far as dwellings that’s more than normal.”
Firefighters first responded to 442 Deeds Ave. at 11:23 a.m. Wednesday. Following the fire, one firefighter received treatment after suffering blistering burns to his ears and another was taken to a hospital with elevated vital signs, Payne said.
“It was a very hot fire,” Payne said.
Later Wednesday, at 8:10 p.m., firefighters responded to 341 E. Lincoln St., where the two-story home listed on the city of Dayton’s nuisance list for more than 400 days was on fire.
“There was no one inside at the time, but we were told some homeless people stay here,” said Dayton fire East District Chief David Grahl at the scene. “The house was empty, except for quite a bit of trash.”
Thursday morning, at 1:10 a.m., a smaller fire at 1938 N. Main St. was quickly extinguished, and firefighters moved on to 744 Huffman Ave. at 6:02 a.m. The Huffman address was vacant, Payne said.
Investigators will continue to work to determine the causes of the fires, Payne said.
