Warrant had been issued for man jailed in double shooting that has left 1 dead

UPDATE @ 12:08 p.m.: Willie James Henry Jr., in custody stemming from the double shooting that has left one dead and one wounded, was being sought on an arrest warrant, according to Montgomery County Common Pleas Court records.

The warrant, for a probation violation, reportedly was issued May 22.

Henry pleaded guilty to robbery in a 2015 case and ultimately was given community control for up to five years. He was wanted because his whereabouts “have been unknown since March 1, 2018.”

Henry had been found to have violated his probation previously but was not given additional sanctions by Common Pleas Judge Steven Dankof.

In November 2016, Henry’s supervision was dropped from intensive to basic because he had made “positive strides in working toward the completion of his sanctions of supervision,” according to court documents.

UPDATE @ 8:25 a.m.:

The Montgomery County Coroner’s Office has identified the victim of a fatal shooting on East Norman Avenue as Barbara A. Goubeaux, 41, of Dayton.

A man arrested at the same address of a fatal double shooting in Dayton has been booked into jail on a preliminary charge of murder and felonious assault, jail records indicate.

Willie James Henry Jr., 43, was arrested around 5:30 a.m., according to jail records.
