18-year-old man shot in Dayton Sunday

Police are investigating after an 18-year-old was shot in Dayton Sunday evening.

Just after 7 p.m., Dayton officers responded to the 1500 block of Warner Avenue near Troy Street for a report of a person shot.

A 911 caller told emergency dispatchers they saw a man shoot another man, according to Montgomery County Regional Dispatch records.

“A guy was running and he was shooting a gun at another guy, and that guy was running from him,” the caller said.

Officers stopped the vehicle the victim left in and provided first aid and applied a torniquet to his leg, said Lt. Eric Sheldon.

Medics then transported him to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Detectives from the Violent Offender Unit are investigating.
