Dayton police Lt. Jason Hall said the department has identified a suspect in a deadly shooting on Salem Avenue on Sunday, Aug. 9, 2020.

A 24-year-old Dayton man was shot to death Sunday, and police said his cousin is a suspect and person of interest in the homicide.

Kyron Cannady was shot multiple times late Sunday in an apartment in the 1000 block of Salem Avenue during an argument, Dayton police Lt. Jason Hall said.

“It was actually over the purchase of a bottle of alcohol,” Hall said. “This altercation escalated into a physical fight and unfortunately gunfire, resulting in the death of the victim.”

Police are now interested in speaking to Perry Thompson, who left in a silver Chrysler 300, about his cousin’s death, Hall said.

Anyone who knows Thompson’s whereabouts is urged to call Dayton police at 937-333-COPS or Miami Valley Crime Stoppers at 937-222-STOP.

Multiple people were at the apartment at the time of shooting, but no one else was shot, Hall said.
