A dispute over $10 ended in a deadly shooting in Middletown, Ohio, according to the Dayton Daily News and police documents.
Police say John, 36, was shot and killed after an argument with Dhameer, 24. Dhameer’s father and John’s mother live together in the Middletown home where it happened.
According to a police report, Dhameer visited the home to give his younger brother $30. Police say John then took $10 from the younger brother’s cash. Dhameer’s father reportedly told John to give the money back, and when John refused, the father called Dhameer to tell him what happened.
Later that night, police say Dhameer returned with a friend and walked into the home with a gun in his hand. In police documents, Detective Steve Winters wrote that the two arrived together and that Dhameer entered the residence armed. An argument followed and John was shot. He was taken to a hospital, where he died.
John’s mother called 911 and told dispatchers there had been a shooting at her home and that she needed an ambulance.
Police searched for Dhameer on Tuesday, and he turned himself in on Wednesday. He has been charged with murder. A charge is an allegation, and he is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
