Around 1:40 a.m., Montgomery County sheriff’s deputies responded to a report of a shooting at a Boost Mobile at 3801 N. Dixie Drive.
During the investigation, deputies learned a man, later identified as Swain, was attempting to break into the store with a 16-year-old girl when a worker living above the business confronted Swain, according to the sheriff’s office.
Swain was reportedly already inside the store and attempting to steal items when the worker fired shots, hitting Swain.
Swain fled and drove to a Dayton residence before he was transported to Miami Valley Hospital, where he died of injuries, deputies said.
The 16-year-old girl was taken into custody Tuesday.
The shooting and break-in is under investigation by the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office Special Investigations Unit. The sheriff’s office will work in cooperation with the prosecutor’s office to determine potential charges.
