Gause was accused of shooting and killing 24-year-old Jayven Torren Kilgore following an argument on May 29, 2020, in the 900 block of Manhattan Avenue in Dayton. Kilgore reportedly ran after the argument moved outside the home but Gause and two other men were able to catch up to him, according to court records.
During the argument, Gause struck Kilgore in the face with a handgun. Then Kilgore was able to get away from the men, but as he was running Gause told detectives that he fired at least two rounds, records stated.
Police said Kilgore was shot once.
Gause’s trial was postponed from February to May after defense counsel began showing signs of COVID-19.
