Davis Jr.’s 911 call was one of two that brought law enforcement and medics to the home on Monroe-Concord Road in Union Township.
“My name’s Daniel Davis Jr… I just shot my dad … I’m turning myself in. I know what I did,” he tells dispatchers in the 911 call. “I am sitting in the driveway. I have surrendered my weapon. And I’m just going to sit here and wait.”
He’s now accused of murdering his father, 54-year-old Daniel Davis Sr. who died at the hospital.
Miami County Chief Deputy Steve Lord previously told News Center 7 that the Davis’ were arguing inside a detached garage.
Court documents show Davis Jr. admitted to the shooting a second time in an interview.
At the end of the body cam video, you see a deputy putting him into a cruiser for a ride to jail.
Davis Jr. faces an aggravated murder charge.
Deputies said they want a grand jury to review this case.
Court documents show we’re getting closer to that happening but that a grand jury has not indicted him yet.
