“They’re shooting, they’re shooting!” one 911 caller told dispatchers.
Another call said they heard around a dozen gunshots.
The calls led police to an apartment playground off Midway Avenue.
When they got to the scene, they found 17-year-old Adrien Totty suffering from gunshot wounds.
Medics rushed Totty to a nearby hospital, but he died from his injuries before arriving.
Two other victims, a 21-year-old woman and a 22-year-old woman, were found. They both suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
As reported on News Center 7 at 5:00, neighbors said they were upset to see another teen’s life lost to gun violence in Dayton.
“I don’t know what we can do to change that. Children need love, understanding, and discipline, and they’re not getting it,” Joanne Williams said.
The shooting is under investigation by the Dayton Police Department’s Homicide Unit.
No arrests have been made at this time.
