When Dayton police arrived, they found a man who had been shot.
“The adult male was pronounced deceased at the scene,” said Dayton police Lt. Steven Bauer. “Homicide detectives were requested to the scene to further the investigation. This does not appear to be a random act of violence, but a targeted attack.”

A witness reported hearing two men screaming then a gunshot. A 911 caller told a dispatcher a man was lying in the street, according to dispatch records.
Additional details revealed the man was shot multiple times.
A silver Malibu vehicle left the scene but it is not clear if it is connected to the shooting.
No suspects are in custody at this time, according to police.
