Dayton police and medics were dispatched just after 8:45 p.m. Tuesday to the 1200 block of South Paul Laurence Dunbar Street on a report of a shooting.
The gunshot victim’s girlfriend told police they were inside the residence when a man identified as McCrowan — whom the girlfriend said was the son of her boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend — knocked at the door. The woman said her boyfriend told her McCrowan wanted some money but that she later heard gunshots while her boyfriend was at the door, according to an affidavit.
When police spoke to the victim at Miami Valley Hospital he said McCrowan shot him, the document stated.
The victim said he has known McCrowan for years, and that the shooting was possibly because the family believes he had a part in the death of McCrowan’s mother, according to the affidavit.
McCrowan told police he did not shoot the man, the document stated.
He is in the Montgomery County Jail, where he has been held since his Wednesday arrest.
