Police responded Nov. 20 to the 3200 block of East Fifth Street after a 911 caller first reported a homicide and then a possible suicide.
When police arrived, they found a woman bleeding from numerous facial injuries as well as injuries to her hands and leg. She was taken to a local hospital, where a medical exam revealed defensive stab and cut wounds to her hands and a long cut on her inner left leg. Among numerous facial injuries was a cut in the lip area that may require surgery, according to an affidavit filed in Dayton Municipal Court.
Lavizzio, who was wet when police arrived, said he called the police, and that he “freaked out when he thought (the victim) was cheating on him and assaulted her.”
Police recovered a pair of scissors from the home.
Lavizzio remains in the Montgomery County Jail.
