DAYTON — Two brothers will spend time behind bars after a Miamisburg man was found shot and burnt.

A Montgomery County Judge sentenced Dana Parks to 23 years to life, according to the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office.

Last month a jury found him guilty on several charges including two counts of murder and tampering with evidence.

Parks’ brother, 53-year-old Ernest Parks, was charged with tampering with evidence, gross abuse of a corpse, and a misdemeanor count of arson.

He was sentenced to three years in prison.
