Person of interest arrested in Dayton’s Caliph Court murder

DAYTON — Update@6:09 p.m. (Jan. 8):

A person of interest in the December Caliph Court murder was arrested Monday on unrelated charges, Dayton police announced Monday.

Anton Hurston Jr., 19, was being held in the Montgomery County Jail Monday evening after being arrested Monday morning. He’s being held on probation violation charges.

Dayton police homicide detectives said they will meet with prosecutors this week regarding potential charges in the murder of Dauntiaunna Brown, 18. She was gunned down in the 1400 block of Tampa Avenue in December.

“I mean honestly, if that's the right person who actually did it, then it's a good thing because nobody deserves to lose a child and the person just go free,” neighbor Mynia Daniels said of Hurston’s arrest.

Brown's friends and family have kept balloons up and candles burning at her unused apartment ever since her death, they said.

UPDATE @10:30 a.m.

A SWAT standoff related to a fatal shooting where an 18-year-old woman was killed has ended.

Four people were in the home in the 1400 block of Tampa Avenue when police made entry. The shooting suspect was not inside, but one person was arrested on an unrelated traffic incident, police said.
