Police: Man shoots brother in leg during fight in Trotwood

Police were called around 10:40 p.m. Tuesday to an apartment complex in the 5500 block of Autumn Woods Drive on a reported fight with shots fired. Before officers arrived, they received information that a person had been shot, according to police.

The victim, a man, was taken to a local hospital in a personal vehicle.

A suspect, later identified as Coates, left the scene but was apprehended a short time later, police said.

Coates “knowingly fired a weapon at his brother … hitting him in the back of the left leg, causing serious physical harm with a deadly weapon,” an affidavit stated.

Bond was set at $25,000 for Coates, who is no longer listed as an inmate at the Montgomery County Jail.
