The shooting was reported at 7:31 p.m. April 14 at the gas station at 7851 Old Troy Pike, Huber Heights Police Division records show.
The identities of the agents involved in the shooting have not been released.
Authorities did not explain what led to the deadly shooting. However, 911 calls placed at the scene indicated there were multiple agents.
“We’ve got a shooting,” a man who identified himself as an agent of the Ohio Investigative Unit told a 911 dispatcher. “A male pulled a gun on another and shot him and we’ve got a shooting. We’ve got one guy down.”
The agent said his officers were unmarked and plainclothes, which he asked the dispatcher to relay to responding Huber Heights police officers.
The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigations was requested by Huber Heights police to investigate the shooting, said Steve Irwin, spokesman for the state Attorney General’s Office. BCI is a part of the AG’s office.
No officers were injured, and BCI’s crime scene and special investigations units responded, Irwin said.
The BCI on Tuesday afternoon referred questions in the case to the Ohio Department of Public Safety, which is compiling information requested by the Dayton Daily News regarding the shooting, the agents involved and the investigation that drew OIU agents to the gas station.
The OIU is made up of fully sworn plainclothes officers responsible for enforcing the state’s alcohol, tobacco and food stamp fraud laws.
