As reported on News Center 7 at 5, Maj. Brian Johns with the Dayton Police Department confirmed the large police presence was in connection to a deadly shooting on Feb. 27 on Oxford Avenue.

As News Center 7 previously reported, a shooting was reported in the 500 block of Oxford Avenue.

After the shooting, two 17-year-olds drove away in their car and crashed at the intersection of Oxford and Broadway.

One teen survived their injuries but the other, identified as Stefon Montgomery, later died, Johns said.

Johns said homicide detectives have worked non-stop since February.

They made on arrest on March 19, and then Thursday they came to the house on Kumler Ave to serve a search warrant, looking for others who may have been involved.

Police said due to the high risk of people being armed inside the home, SWAT was called.

At least two people were taken into custody.

“These homicide cases are very important to us, to our detectives. And when I say, they work tirelessly, that’s an understatement,” Johns said.

News Center 7 is working to learn the names of the people arrested.
