The shooting happened just hours after an OVI checkpoint was in operation in the same stretch of North Gettysburg Avenue. The checkpoint also resulted in a brief chase after a driver refused to stop for the checkpoint. The driver was later taken into custody after a foot chase involving state troopers.
News Center 7 has reached out to Dayton police for more details in the investigation and we’re awaiting a response.
