The new charges are connected to “activity of [Hayes] since he was indicted for the May 2022 murder of Shauna Cameron,” according to a spokesperson from the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office.

Cameron was a passenger in an Impala when at least two shots were fired at it from a vehicle headed east on U.S. 35. Cameron was hit by the gunfire and was taken to Miami Valley Hospital where she died.

Hayes was taken into custody on East Maplewood Avenue by Riverside officers and U.S. Marshals in October. That same month Hayes pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder and felonious assault, as well as one count of a weapons charge.
