Warrant issued for caregiver charged in West Carrollton group home death

A Dayton man was indicted Thursday on felony charges in connection to the death of a man with developmental disabilities last year at a group home in West Carrollton.

Erion Williams faces charges of involuntary manslaughter, patient abuse, and tampering with evidence, according to a Montgomery County grand jury report.

Williams is accused in the investigation into the death of Jerrold Duskey.

Prosecutors said Williams was employed as a caregiver by ResCare Inc. when Duskey was injured Feb. 15, 2018, at the group home on Redbluff Drive.

Duskey, who prosecutors said had developmental disabilities, later died March 5, 2018, at Kettering Medical Center from blunt force trauma.

A warrant has been issued for Williams’ arrest.
