A 40-year-old man was fatally shot tonight during an argument with another man, Dayton police Lt. Bill Keller said.
Police and medics were called around 9:30 p.m. to James H. McGee Boulevard and West Third Street.
“There was a dispute some blocks over … and one guy shot the other guy in the chest,” Keller said. “He drove away in his car with a couple passengers and due to his injuries, he crashed. At this point he has passed.”
Police are not identifying the victim, and also are not identifying the suspect, whom Keller said may turn himself in. The two passengers in the victim’s black car were not injured and were being interviewed by police.
Police have three scenes, including one area where a shell casing was found and a second spot where the victim tried to get away and hit a curb so hard the left front tire was sheared off, the lieutenant said. At the third scene, a flatbed truck was called to tow the victim’s car.

The shooting reported at James H. McGee and West Third Street is a homicide, the Montgomery County Regional Dispatch Center confirmed, and the gunshot victim was not taken to a local hospital.
