Police were called around 12:40 p.m. Wednesday to the 1100 block of East Pearl Street to a report of an unresponsive man. When they arrived, Miamisburg police said they found a man shot in the head who was pronounced dead at the scene. He was identified as 28-year-old Dylan Judd.
A woman who called 911 said she came home from work and found her 28-year-old boyfriend face-down on the floor.
“He’s got a gash on his head, he’s bleeding,” the woman said as she pleaded for help. “I don’t think he’s breathing.”
The victim’s injury was determined to not be self-inflicted, and leads developed led detectives to the suspected shooter, according to a release issued Thursday night by the Miamisburg Police Department.
Smith was booked shortly after 8 p.m. Thursday into the Montgomery County Jail on suspicion of aggravated murder, jail records show. He is held on a $500,000 bond.
A cellphone, believed to be the victim’s, was found behind CVS at 1205 Central Ave. in Miamisburg, according to a police log on the shooting.
Of the charges filed against Smith, all but tampering with evidence carries a three-year firearm specification that would add prison time, if he is convicted.
The case will now go to a Montgomery County grand jury for review, the prosecutor’s office said.
