A man found guilty of lesser charges in a Dayton deadly shooting was sentenced this week to time served.

In February, a jury found 33-year-old Dayveon Johnson guilty of tampering with evidence and carrying a concealed weapon, according to Montgomery County Common Pleas Court records. They found him not guilty of murder, felonious assault and discharge of a firearm on or near prohibited premises charges.

Johnson was sentenced Wednesday to time served. He was arrested more than three years ago, on Feb. 9, 2020, according to court records.

As of Thursday morning, Johnson was no longer listed on the online Montgomery County Jail roster.

Johnson’s defense attorney has not returned a request for comment.

The charges stemmed from the deadly shooting of 40-year-old Corleone Lewis.

Johnson was involved in a Feb. 9, 2020, argument on the front porch of a South Broadway Street house. When the fight turned physical, Lewis attempted to break up the fight.

Johnson then pulled out a gun and fired two rounds near Lewis and two other people, according to court records.

Lewis was shot, as well as a second person who was hit in the ankle. Police later discovered Johnson also was shot in the arm during a second round of gunfire.
