Justin S. August, 35, of Kettering is facing two counts each of murder and felonious assault, according to Kettering Municipal Court records. His bond was set at $1 million during a video arraignment Monday.
Justin August did not enter a plea to the charges. His next hearing is scheduled for May 20.
He was arrested Friday after police responded around 3:30 p.m. to a house in the 2700 block of Haig Avenue on a report of a shooting.
Initial reports indicated a son shot his father.
Justin August is accused of firing two different firearms at Leo August, causing his death, according to court documents.
The Haig Avenue shooting happened just hours after developments in another father-son case in Kettering. In the other case, Edgar S. Keiter Jr. was indicted on tampering and abuse of a corpse charges related to the death of his father, 75-year-old Edgar S. Keiter Sr. of Croftshire Drive in Kettering. Keiter does not face homicide charges in that case.
There is no indication the cases are related.
