Dayton police responded around 3:20 a.m. May 29 to a report of a shooting at a shopping center parking lot at 2152 N. Gettysburg Ave. When they arrived, they found 33-year-old Taylor with multiple gunshot wounds, according to court documents.

He was taken to the hospital where he died from injuries.

Dayton police Maj. Brian Johns previously described the incident as an “ambush-style shooting.”

An investigation revealed Mattison got out of an SUV and shot Taylor multiple times before fleeing, according to court records.

Mattison was arrested on June 30, according to jail booking records. He remains held in the Montgomery County Jail.
