Dayton Police Respond To 3 Shootings In One Day

Dayton police are investigating three separate shootings in the Gem City, including one fatal.

Sgt. John Sullivan said, "Our understanding is none of these are connected in any way but we don't like to see anybody get shot."

The most recent incident turned out to be the most violent. At 5:30 p.m. Sautrday, officers rushed to McCall Avenue and found a man shot in the leg behind a home.

That 33-year-old white man, identified as Bryan Gillum, later died at a local hospital.

Police believe he was shot at an apartment on Ethel Street in an apparent drug deal gone bad. He then ran two blocks, leaving a trail of blood, until he collapsed. Police said they are looking for a black man driving a light blue Ford Taurus in connection with the shooting.

Around 1 p.m, eyewitnesses said a shootout erupted in the parking lot of an apartment complex on Germantown Street.

Eyewitness Rahnae Minaj said, "I seen somebody shooting, two people running and more shooting. It was just too much."

Police believe several men in a car exchanged gunfire with several men in the building.

One man showed up at a hospital a few hours later with a gunshot wound to his arm.

The first shooting happened around 3 a.m. Police said 26-year-old Quan Canty was shot at a home on Chapel Street.

He was last listed in critical condition at Miami Valley Hospital.

People who live near the three separate shootings said enough is enough.

Eyewitness Lashawn Smith said, "Yeah, this is the ghetto but we didn't make it like this. That was all unnecessary."
