The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office was called just after 1:30 p.m. Sept. 30 to a shooting at the cemetery at 2290 S. Union Road in Jefferson Twp.
“Witnesses advised Jaquade Lewis produced a handgun after an argument and shot the vehicle which was occupied by his adult female cousin and 1-year-old niece,” a Montgomery County Municipal Court Western Division affidavit read.
Lewis reportedly shot another cousin in the hand and upper thigh who attempted to grab the gun, according to court records.
Deputies reportedly found two fired bullets, a 9mm casing and a vehicle that had been shot at the cemetery.
Family took the injured man to the Dayton VA Medical Center grounds at 4100 W. Third St., according to the sheriff’s office. From there, he was transported to Miami Valley Hospital.
Lewis fled but deputies found him about an hour later at a hotel off Dryden Road in Moraine.
During an interview with investigators, he reportedly admitted to shooting the vehicle and his cousin, according to the affidavit.
Lewis is held on a $100,000 bond in the Montgomery County Jail.
