An 18-year-old Dayton man is facing charges in the deadly shooting of another 18-year-old early Saturday morning.

Dwayne J. Jones Jr. was charged with two counts of murder and two counts of felonious assault, according to Dayton Municipal Court records.

Around 12:30 a.m. Saturday, 911 dispatcher received multiple calls about a shooting in the 400 block of West Hudson Avenue.

Callers reported a person was laying in the street and not moving, according to dispatch records. One caller said a silver Chevrolet Impala with tinted windows fled toward Norman Avenue.

Police arrived on the scene and found Kameron Dewberry, of Dayton, suffering from gunshot wounds.

“He was removed to the hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries,” said Dayton police Lt. Jason Hall. “Dayton homicide detectives responded to the scene, and the initial investigation indicates that this homicide was the result of an argument that tragically escalated into gunfire.”

Two people identified the suspect as Jones, who fled the scene, according to court documents.

Detectives worked throughout the day to locate the suspect and took Jones into custody without incident around 7 p.m.

His bond was set at $1 million

Hall encouraged anyone with additional information regarding the case to call Detective Woody at 937-333-1124 or CrimeStoppers at 937-222-STOP.
