The shooting was reported around 12:20 p.m. Monday in the 600 block of Rockford Avenue.
“He got shot in the chest,” a 911 caller told a dispatcher.
The caller said that someone was applying pressure to the gunshot wound, but that Olden wasn’t breathing.
Police did not identify a suspect in the shooting. However, Montgomery County Jail records showed that 18-year-old Gregory Lamar Patrick-Brooks of Dayton was arrested in the 600 block of Rockford Avenue in Dayton. He was booked shortly before 5:30 p.m. into the jail on suspicion of reckless homicide.

Detectives who already were in the area arrived at the shooting scene within a few minutes, Dayton police Lt. Matt Beavers said.
An officer who responded to the shooting was assaulted during a fight at the multi-unit home and suffered minor injuries. A medic was seen applying a bandage or gauze to the officer’s arm.
“When they got here they encountered a few people inside. One of the individuals they had a little struggle with,” he said. “All we know is there was a brief mild scuffle, nothing severe, nothing serious. One officer dinged his arm a little bit.”
Dispatch issued a call for officer assistance, also known as a signal 99, due to the fight, but it was canceled once the scene was under control.
Investigators interviewed multiple people who were inside at the time of the shooting. It’s not clear if the person involved in the fight with the officer was connected to the deadly shooting.
