UPDATE @ 6:01 p.m.: The Trotwood homicide victim is Jason Alford.
The autopsy is scheduled for Friday, according to the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office.
UPDATE @ 4:08 p.m.: The victim is a 30-year-old man who was found in the home at 3615 Brumbaugh Boulevard by his sister, Trotwood police Capt. John Porter said in a prepared statement.
The victim, whose name has not been released, was shot at least once in the head and had been shot several hours before his sister came to the home to check on her brother.
Porter said the woman made the check because she had not received an answer from her brother after several phone calls.
Investigators found several shell casings at the scene and are speaking with family and friends in the hope of developing leads.
Porter is asking anyone who has information about the crime to call Crime Stoppers at 222-STOP (7867) or log onto miamivalleycrimestoppers.com to leave information.
Anyone who contacts police can remain anonymous.
