DAYTON — A judge has announced the verdict in the case of a man accused of shooting and killing a woman on Mother’s Day 2022.
News Center 7 was in court Wednesday when Montgomery County Common Pleas Judge Steven Dankof found Jamar Hayes guilty on multiple counts of murder, felonious assault, intimidation, menacing, and weapons charges.

The charges were connected to the shooting death of Shauna Cameron.
As previously reported, Cameron died after being shot in a car on U.S. 35 near Woodman Drive in May 2022. Hayes was allegedly the ex-boyfriend of one of the occupants in the car with Cameron.
Hayes will be sentenced on Nov. 1.
News Center 7 spoke with Shauna’s mother, Stacy Cameron, following Wednesday’s verdict. She’s endured the loss of her daughter for the last 17 months and spent the last week going through Hayes’ trial.
“It’s been super painful to have to go through the process of going to trial and seeing and hearing evidence was probably one of the worst experiences,” Stacy said.
She said hearing the verdict Wednesday brought some relief.
“It’ll never bring my daughter back so that pain is always going to be there but I am satisfied that justice was served today,” she said.
