Shooter suspected of firing at mother, child arrested by U.S. Marshals
DAYTON - U.S. Marshals deputies have arrested a 26-year-old man suspected of shooting a man in the back as he walked with his girlfriend and her infant.
David Dewberry Jr. is in Montgomery County Jail on two counts of felonious assault after he was arrested at 85 Benning Place at 6:50 this morning, Oct. 6., according to jail records.
Deputy marshals with the Southern Ohio Fugitive Apprehension Strike Team (SOFAST) tracked Dewberry with help from the Dayton Police Department, Deputy Josh Hillard said.
Detectives believe it was Dewberry on Sept. 23 who jumped out of an SUV in the DeSota Bass Courts housing complex and shot a man in the back after Dewberry made a derogatory comment about the victim’s girlfriend body.
Dewberry fired a dozen shots at the couple after the 18-year-old victim confronted him about the comments, witnesses and police said. The victim’s girlfriend was pushing a small child in a stroller, but fled to safety.
The victim, after he was hit, ran a couple hundred feet to the front door of a housing unit on Bass Street.
Dewberry has an extensive arrest record on charges from drug possession to robbery. He has served at least one prison sentence for a 2003 robbery and has been arrested nearly 20 times in Montgomery County.
TweetElementary student’s jaws pried from teacher’s forearm
DAYTON - A Patterson-Kennedy Elementary School student sent his 54-year-old teacher to the hospital after biting him in the forearm Monday, Oct. 5.
Police responded to the Dayton City school, at 258 Wyoming St., about 11:30 a.m. after school officials said they had to pry the child from the teacher’s arm, according to a police report.
The child was brought to assistant principal Jack Johnson’s office by teacher Stephen Green for being disorderly in the classroom, the report stated. The child began throwing things in the office and had to be restrained by Green.
While clutching the child, Green was bitten in the forearm, Johnson told police. The child would not release Green’s arm and Johnson had to pry the boy’s mouth open — with his hands.
Green went to the hospital to be treated for the bite, the report stated. The child was transferred to Kettering Hospital for a psychological evaluation.
The child is being charged with felonious assault, but was not taken to the juvenile detention center. A court date has not been set.
TweetMan mysteriously shot in Five Oaks neighborhood
DAYTON - Police are looking the shooter(s) that fired a gun from an elevated position, striking a man walking to a convenience store in the Five Oaks neighborhood early Monday morning, Oct. 5.
The 43-year-old man said he heard “pop-pop-pop-pop” in the 1100 block of North Main Street about 5:25 a.m. and looked down to find that he had been shot in the thigh, according to a police report.
The man said he didn’t realize he had been shot until he saw blood stains on his pants, the report stated. Police said the wound was “through and through,” meaning the bullet exited his leg.
The bullet entered and exited the leg at a downward angle, leaving officers to believe someone was shooting from an elevated position, the report stated. The victim did not know who shot him.
The man was treated for his wound at Grandview Medical Center and is expected to be OK. Anyone with information about the shooting should call (937) 333-COPS.
