Hughes was booked into the Montgomery County Jail early Friday afternoon, according to jail records.
Hughes was charged Aug. 9 in Dayton Municipal Court for three counts of murder, two counts of felonious assault and one count each of aggravated robbery and having weapons while under disability in the shooting death of 28-year-old Melchizedec D. Israel-Miller of Dayton.
Hughes and Israel-Miller were near a large gathering around 4:10 p.m. July 29 in the complex parking lot in the 1000 block of Carver Place, when “Mr. Hughes became angry with another patron of the gathering, who was not Mr. Israel-Miller, pulled out a firearm and shot Mr. Israel-Miller in the head,” according to an affidavit filed in Dayton Municipal Court.
Israel-Miller fell to the ground and Hughes took unknown items from the other man’s pocket. He then got into a vehicle, pointed a gun at a woman and ordered her to drive, according to court records.
Investigators determined that Israel-Miller and Hughes had been good friends, and there was no argument between them when the shooting took place.
Hughes is scheduled to be arraigned Monday, according to jail records.
