A woman and a man died in separate shootings over the weekend in Dayton.

The gunshot victims were identified Monday afternoon as Jermea Lyle, 26, and Jarrick Davidson, 36, by Montgomery County Coroner Dr. Kent Harshbarger.

Officers were dispatched shortly before 7:25 a.m. Saturday to Miami Valley Hospital after a gunshot victim, later identified as Lyle, was brought to Miami Valley Hospital by a private car.

After some time she was pronounced deceased at the hospital, said Dayton police Lt. Steven Bauer.

Detectives from the department’s homicide unit determined the shooting happened near U.S. 35 and James H. McGee Boulevard, he said.

Dayton police officers were dispatched around 4:35 p.m. Sunday to the 2900 block of Louella Avenue on a report of a person shot.

The gunshot victim, later identified as Davidson, was taken to Miami Valley Hospital, where he later was pronounced deceased, Bauer said.

One vehicle and several residences were struck by gunfire in the shooting that killed the man, the lieutenant said.

That shooting also is under investigation by the department’s homicide unit.
