Jones is accused of shooting 31-year-old Gregory Dillon in the head around 4:15 p.m. Aug. 10 in the first block of South Monmouth Street near East Fourth Street, according to Dayton Municipal Court records. Dillon was pronounced dead at the scene.
Dillion was previously chased by a dog on the loose and during an argument between the dog’s owner and Dillon, Jones reportedly came outside of a house with two handguns.
“A physical altercation occurred between Dillon and Jones, which resulted in Jones firing one of the handguns several times and striking Dillon,” an affidavit read.
Police found two handguns near the house’s front porch and seven casings in the area.
Witnesses reportedly identified Jones as the shooter and said he went back inside the house.
He admitted to shooting Dillon after a fight and being pepper sprayed, according to an affidavit.
Jones is scheduled to be arraigned on Tuesday and is being held in the Montgomery County Jail on a $1 million bond.
