A 75-year-old man is stable after he was shot near Burkham Center Park in Dayton Monday afternoon.

Initially the man was in serious condition, but his condition was non-life-threatening, Dayton police said Tuesday afternoon.

Just before 2:50 p.m. Monday, police were dispatched to the area of Bancroft and South Paul Laurence Dunbar streets for a report of a person shot.

“Upon arrival officers located the male victim who was transported to an area hospital in serious condition,” Dayton police Sgt. Chris Savage said Monday. “One suspect is currently in custody.”

A person from Public Health Dayton and Montgomery County’s mobile unit called 911, according to Montgomery County Regional Dispatch records.

The caller said there were two juveniles and one shot into a car on Paul Laurance Dunbar Street.

Both then ran from the scene.

The investigation is ongoing.
