DAYTON — A 19-year-old man who was shot four times Saturday night died early Sunday morning, Nov. 22, according to the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office.

Trenton Scroggins, of Dayton, was pronounced dead at Miami Valley Hospital at about 12:30 a.m. Sunday, according to officials.

Dayton police continued Sunday to look for suspects in the shooting, which occurred about 7:48 p.m. Saturday on Willowwood Drive near Shadyside Drive.

Police received initial reports of four men chasing a male down the street and shooting at him. When they arrived at the scene, they found blood on a driveway and bullet casings on the ground, but no victim.

According to authorities, three family members and friends had already driven the victim to Good Samaritan Hospital. He was later transferred to Miami Valley.

Scroggins had had several run ins with police, including an armed robbery with a toy gun in 2007 and an arrest for public indecency in August, police and court records show.
