Dayton police were flagged down to a report of a shooting June 22, 2021 near the BP gas station at 500 Salem Ave. Multiple witnesses gave a description of the suspect, later identified as Tunstall, who was found with the murder weapon in an alley in the 200 block of Lexington Avenue, according to the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office.
Burch, who was described by authorities as a homeless man, was found with multiple gunshot wounds in back of a vacant property on Lexington Avenue. He was taken to Miami Valley Hospital, where he died from his injuries about two hours later.
Tunstall was found guilty following a September trial of murder and felonious assault, each with three-year firearm specifications; carrying concealed weapons; obstructing official business; and having weapons under disability.
