A Dayton man was indicted Monday in connection to an August shooting in Trotwood that wounded a man and in which more than a dozen shots were reported fired.

Milton Eugene Bankston, 38, was issued a summons to appear for his arraignment Dec. 26 in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court for two counts of felonious assault, each with three-year firearm specifications that would add time at sentencing if he is convicted as charged.

Multiple 911 callers reported hearing more than a dozen gunshots shortly before 1 a.m. Aug. 28 in the 200 block of Miller Avenue near Nathaniel Street.

One 911 caller reported hearing 10 to 12 shots while a second caller said there were about 20 shots fired, according to Montgomery County Regional Dispatch records.

A woman who called dispatch said her brother was shot and that family members were taking him to Miami Valley Hospital.

“Someone just ran up to the house and shot up our house,” she said.

The gunshot victim suffered injuries that were not life-threatening, Trotwood police said.

It was not clear how many times he was shot.

Bankston initially was charged Oct. 5 in Montgomery County Municipal Court - Western Division in Trotwood before the case was bound over to a grand jury.
