Fatal Springfield shooting victim identified

UPDATE @ 2:50 p.m.

Springfield police are investigating an early morning shooting that left one man dead and sent three others to Dayton hospitals Saturday.

Davienne J. Lewis of Springfield died at Springfield Regional Medical Center of a single gunshot wound, according to Clark County Coroner’s Office investigator Mike Haytas.

The 23-year-old’s address was reported as 218 E. Third St., but an aunt who spoke with Hayes said he only occasionally stayed at that house.

The Montgomery County Coroner’s Office on Saturday performed an autopsy.

Lewis was found around 2:15 a.m. lying on Rice Street west of Clinton Avenue.

“A car was all shot up,” Haytas said.

He said it was not clear whether Lewis was ever in the car. Multiple shots were fired at the scene, but only one hit Lewis, Haytas said.

Springfield police Sgt. James Hall described the situation as “touchy.”

“I can’t release anything at this time,” he said

A short time after emergency crews took Lewis to the hospital, two males of unknown ages were dropped off at Dayton Children’s Hospital with gunshot wounds they suffered during the shooting in Springfield. CareFlight flew the pair to Miami Valley Hospital before 3:30 a.m.

The fourth person arrived in Good Samaritan Hospital’s emergency room with a gunshot wound in his arm. He also was transported via CareFlight to Miami Valley Hospital.

UPDATE @ 10:34 a.m.

A 23-year-old male from Clark County has died, according to the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office.

An autopsy was expected today on the victim, whose identity has not been released.
