Dayton man facing murder charges for shooting at shopping center parking lot

DAYTON — A Dayton man is facing murder charges after an investigation linked him to a deadly shooting earlier this year.

Quinn Mattison, 27, is facing three counts of murder, two counts of felonious assault and one count of having weapons under disability, according to charges filed Friday morning in Dayton Municipal Court.

The charges stem from a shooting that happened in the early morning hours of May 29.

Police and medics were called to the Gettysburg Plaza shopping center in the 2100 block of North Gettysburg Avenue on reports of a person shot.

“We need an officer right here right now,” one 911 caller said in a call previously obtained in a News Center 7 public records request. “He got shot! Come get this man! They shot him up.”

When crews arrived on scene they found Reinaldo Taylor, 33, of Dayton, in the parking lot suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Taylor was taken to Miami Valley Hospital where he later died from his injuries.

Detectives responded to the scene and an investigation revealed that a man, identified by detectives as Mattison, exited a silver SUV and shot Taylor several times, according to an affidavit and statement of facts. Mattison then allegedly drove off in an unknown direction.

Mattison was arrested June 30. He was indicted on weapons charges in an unrelated case in July, according to online court records. He remains booked in the Montgomery County Jail.

He’s scheduled to appear in court for his arraignment on the new charges Friday afternoon.
