Man shot three times in buttocks
Police are piecing together a Saturday night, May 8, shooting in the 3400 block of Otterbein that sent one man to the hospital and two to the county lockup.
The victim — shot three times in the butt and one in the wrist — claims he was ambushed by his girlfriend’s family and shot with a “Tec machine gun”, according to police reports. One of those taken to jail claims the victim opened fire first.
Dayton Sgt. Gary White said Monday police are re-interviewing witnesses and still looking for a weapon or weapons.
It all started when Good Samaritan Hospital called police to report two men in a 1997 Jaguar brought a gunshot victim to the hospital. The men told police their friend showed up wounded at their house and they brought him to the hospital.
While crews searched the neighborhood, officers interviewed the victim, 34-year-old Charles Martion, who ID’d the shooters. He claimed he went to the Otterbein address to try top make peace with his girlfriend’s family. Martin said there had been numerous fights between he and the family.
When he arrived Eric Wilcoxson, 40, threw him out the door, while James Wilcoxson, also 40, grabbed a weapon and opened fire as Martin fled.
Police tracked the two men to their mother’s nearby house. Both men were taken into custody. Eric Wilcoxson told police he and James were sitting on the front porch when the Martin arrived and opened fire. Eric Wilcoxson said he fled inside the house and heard more rounds fired, but could not say who might have shot the victim. When searched, police found 14 .40-caliber rounds in his pocket.
Upon seeing that, Eric Wilcoxson offered, “Yeah, but you don’t have the gun.”
A search of the Otterbein address uncovered four 10-round magazines, but no weapons.
Both men were booked into the county lockup on felonious assault.
