“Byrd went straight to the bedroom,” investigators wrote in an affidavit filed in Dayton Municipal Court. “When he opened the door, Jenkins shot him multiple times and then shot Daniels when she would not stop screaming.”
Police said that Jenkins fled, and both Daniels and Byrd were rushed to the hospital.
Jenkins has pleaded not guilty to the charges, and the defense team has indicated in court documents an intention to claim Jenkins acted in self-defense.
