Lynch is charged in the Sept. 5 deadly shooting of Erick Quiroz-Rivas.
A Trotwood police officer was pumping gas into his cruiser when he heard a gunshot, and soon after, around 7:30 p.m. Sept. 5, police and medics were dispatched to the 8000 block of Belle Creek Lane in the Belle Meadows Apartment complex off Shiloh Springs Road.
Emergency crews found a man, later identified as Quiroz-Rivas, with a life-threatening gunshot wound and he was taken to Miami Valley Hospital, where he died, according to police and Montgomery County Coroner Dr. Kent Harshbarger.
Witnesses said that the shooter, identified as Lynch, left on a motorcycle and he was stopped by a cruiser.
Quiroz-Rivas and a second man had been riding ATVs in the apartment complex’s parking lot when one of the four-wheelers became disabled. As the two tried to fix the ATV, police said that Lynch came outside and told them to leave. Lynch then went back inside, retrieved a firearm and came back out and fired one shot, hitting Quiroz-Rivas, according to the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office.
Lynch is held on $1 million bail in the Montgomery County Jail.
