Harber was charged along with Dae’toine Amaontaey Jamar Shells, 19, and Tavion’te Nel’shon Howard, 24, in the fight Oct. 28, 2024 on Delaware Avenue.

According to Dayton Municipal Court records, responding police found that a man had been stabbed multiple times and a 14-year-old had been punched and kicked unconscious.

Bullet casings at the scene indicated that at least two guns had been fired, though police confirmed nobody had been shot.

Shells was granted intervention in lieu of conviction for one count of carrying concealed weapons. As a result, he will be supervised by the Montgomery County Probation Services Department for one to five years.

Howard pleaded guilty to having weapons while under disability and was sentenced to up to five years of probation, according to court records.
