On July 22, Graylon Russell, 42, was reportedly attempting to repossess a vehicle at an apartment complex in the 2900 block of Lakeridge Court. Cobb exited the apartment building and confronted Russell before pulling out a handgun and shooting him multiple times, according to the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office.
“Mr. Cobb continued to fire shots at Mr. Russell’s vehicle as he attempted to flee,” a Dayton Municipal Court affidavit read.
Cobb then reportedly fled on foot.
Medics transported Russell to Miami Valley Hospital, but he was pronounced dead upon arrival.
A 911 caller told dispatchers she heard a crash and saw the victim, later identified as Russell, inside a vehicle that hit her neighbor’s truck, according to Montgomery County Regional Dispatch records.
She also indicated Russell was repossessing a vehicle when he was shot.
Cobb is scheduled to be arraigned on Tuesday and is being held in the Montgomery County Jail on a $1 million bond.
