DAYTON — Police are investigating two mass shootings that have happened in Dayton just this week.

There was a small indication of trouble two hours before the deadly drive-by shooting.

A 911 caller reported stunt driving and possible Hooning late Sunday night on Home Avenue.

Asst. Chief Eric Henderson said this is the third large party involving young people in a week’s time that has led to crime and police response.

Nikki Robinson has a 16-year-old daughter she tries to keep away from house parties. She fears just this kind of senseless violence.

“Then someone came and shot it up and then we lost whole life, she has kids,” Robinson said.

Police say they will likely have to be proactive to discourage young people’s house parties, including enforcing curfews for juveniles.

Police have not said whether detectives have a vehicle description of the car involved in the drive-by shooting.
