“The investigation into the killing of Jovan Patterson is ongoing,” said Lt. Jason Hall. “A person of interest was identified and detained this past weekend, however additional investigation is required prior to formal charges being filed.”
The shooting was reported just before 11 p.m. in the 2200 block of Hepburn Avenue.
One of the 911 callers told a dispatcher he saw a woman running down the street yelling that a woman was shot, according to dispatch records. The man reportedly turned around and saw two women and man getting into a red truck and drive off.
When police arrived at the scene, they found Patterson, dead, said Hall.
An initial investigation indicates the suspect and Patterson knew each other, according to police.
“Homicide detectives are diligently working to provide justice for Ms. Patterson’s family,” said Hall. “Anyone with information regarding this crime is encouraged to contact the Dayton Police Department at 937-333-COPS or Miami Valley Crime Stoppers at 937-222-STOP.”
