The shooting was reported around 7:20 p.m. March 14 in the 1600 block of Miami Chapel Road, near Louise Troy Elementary School.
The teens who died were identified by the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office as 17-year-old Javonta Morgan and 14-year-old Corey Prater.
When officers arrived, they found a male performing CPR on Prater, Dayton police Lt. Steven Bauer said. Officers took over CPR and Prater was taken to Dayton Children’s Hospital, where he died from injuries.
“Another victim, a 17-year-old male, was transported to an area hospital via private conveyance where he, too, succumbed to his injuries,” Bauer said.
The Montgomery County Regional Dispatch Center received multiple 911 calls reporting the shooting.
“There was a group of kids out here playing and some little boy just got shot,” a 911 caller said. “I didn’t really see what happened. I heard the gunshots and now a little boy is laying right here in the field and everybody just scattered.”
A second 911 caller said a group of boys were outside fighting, according to dispatch records.
A warrant was issued for the 14-year-old boy’s arrest but he is not yet in custody, Dayton police said.
