Police: Man Found Dead In Back Yard

Police said they got warning calls from Dearborn Avenue about 1 a.m. Friday morning.

Callers told police they saw some men fighting and arguing over what they believe were drugs, then saw one man choking 43-year-old Charles Robinson. The caller said Robinson did not get up, officials said.

Officers said they found Robinson dead in the back yard.

Dayton police detectives arrested 38 year-old Harold Moore, who was seen walking away from the scene as officers arrived. Officials took Moore into custody and booked him into Montgomery County Jail. Moore hasn't been officially charged by prosecutors.

The Montgomery County coroner's office said it will conduct an autopsy to determine exactly how Robinson died.

Officials said that homicide detectives and evidence technicians spent several hours in the area and have plenty of witnesses to talk to.
