The gunshot victim was identified as 33-year-old Mo’rrell M. Fontenot by the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office. He is survived by his daughter, mother, five siblings and other family and friends, according to his obituary.
Dayton police were dispatched around 12:30 a.m. July 28 to 2828 Salem Ave. on a report of a shooting.
“(Fontenot) was walking on the sidewalk in front of Arby’s restaurant, and he was approached by another male,” said Dayton police Maj. Brian Johns. “That male then shot him several times and fled the scene.”
The shooting happened during a robbery, according to an affidavit.
The shooter, later identified as Brown, reportedly fled the scene on foot.
A warrant was issued Monday afternoon for Brown’s arrest.
