A woman who reported a shooting in Dayton that sent a man to the hospital told 911 dispatchers she saw a man walking in the area just before the incident.

Officers responded to the intersection of West Hillcrest Avenue and Mayfair Road shortly before 2 p.m. Monday after a caller reported a man had been shot in a black car.
