The victim, identified as Mikeone Beasley, was outside on the porch of a Cambridge Avenue home when he observed an argument between a group of people standing about a hundred yards away. Beasley heard several gunshots, and immediately felt that he had been struck by a bullet in his right shoulder.

Beasley ran across the street to his home, waking his cousin and girlfriend. His cousin then drove him to Miami Valley Hospital.

Dayton police were able to find .40 caliber bullet casings on Cambridge Avenue, and found evidence that a nearby pickup truck was hit.
