ABOUT THE KINSER KILLING
Kinser, a Miamisburg High School student, was killed in a late-night home invasion in a Miamisburg apartment on Dec. 30, about a block from the police department.
A 14-year-old also was wounded in the invasion.
According to the statement of facts filed Tuesday in Miamisburg Municipal Court by Miamisburg police Detective Sgt. J.S. Muncy, police dispatched on a shots fired call to 119 ½ N. First St. about 9:45 p.m. on Dec. 30, 2018, learned Kinser had been shot to death.
“The investigation revealed at least two subjects entered Kinser’s home and shot and killed him,” Muncy said in the statement dated May 14.
“Per phone records received pursuant to search warrants, it was learned that Chaz Gillilan left Columbus, came to Dayton with others and then came to the area of the homicide, at the time of the homicide.”
Gillilan, according to the statement, “made incriminating admissions and statements to multiple subjects regarding his involvement in this homicide.”
A mixed DNA profile identified 9 mm casings found at the scene consistent with DNA collected from Gillilan, according to the statement. Ballistics has confirmed that the bullet that killed Kinser was in a 9 mm round, according to the statement.
In January, police said five people had been arrested in their investigation, but no charges had been filed in the homicide, the first in the city of Miamisburg since 2011.
