Huber Heights doctor arrested in conspiracy to murder ex-wife

HUBER HEIGHTS - Montgomery County Sheriff’s investigators have arrested a 48-year-old Huber Heights family doctor who they said hired someone to murder his former wife.

Shafik Ahmad is in jail on a felony charge of conspiracy to commit murder charge after investigators learned he hired someone to kill his former wife, Sheriff Phil Plummer said. The murder attempt was not successful and Ahmad’s former wife is OK, Plummer said.

Ahmad was arrested about 9 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 21, in the 100 block of East Spring Valley Road, according to jail records.

State medical records show Ahmad operates a family practice at 6750 Brandt Pike in Huber Heights and at 2550 Shiloh Springs in Trotwood.

Ahmad is the same doctor who had several complaints lodged against him by patients alleging inappropriate sexual comments and touching.

None of the complaints resulted in Ahmad being criminally charged or disciplined by the Ohio State Medical Board, though he has been sued by at least one person related to allegations and had to pay $30,000 in damages and fees.

Ahmad’s attorney, John H. Rion, said his son, attorney John Paul Rion, visited the doctor this morning and he is in “good spirits.”

“Certainly these allegations are inconsistent with the Dr. Ahmad we’ve grown to know,” John H. Rion said.
