The victim, who has not been identified, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Montgomery County Coroner’s Office said an investigator responded to a homicide.
Responding officers immediately took a 35-year-old man at the house into custody. He was to the Kettering Jail on a preliminary charge of reckless homicide pending further approval of charges from the prosecutor.
The Dayton Daily News is not naming him because formal charges have not been filed.
The investigation is ongoing and Kettering police expect to release additional information.
The Haig Avenue shooting happened just hours after developments in another father-son case in Kettering. In the other case, Edgar S. Keiter Jr. was indicted on tampering and abuse of a corpse charges related to the death of his father, 75-year-old Edgar S. Keiter Sr. of Croftshire Drive in Kettering. Keiter does not face homicide charges in that case.
There is no indication the cases are related.
