When they got to the scene, they found a deceased male with gunshot wounds, according to Dayton Police Lieutenant Steven Bauer.

Bauer said it appeared the suspects entered the home before shooting the victim.

There may have been up to six suspects, according to Montgomery County Regional Dispatch records.

A 911 caller told dispatchers that she and the victim had been robbed.

“Uh, we just got robbed. Like six guys with guns just came in and they shot my boyfriend twice,” the caller said.

She said they all had ski masks on.
