Crews received multiple calls about a fight at a house in the 800 block of Chelsea Avenue around 8 p.m. on Aug. 14.
In one 911 call obtained through a public records request, the caller tells dispatchers “someone needs an ambulance now” and they continually asked the dispatcher to please hurry.
In another 911 call a neighbor tells dispatchers “all they can hear is screaming” coming from the house and while they can’t see what is happening they said it sounded like someone was hurt.
When crews arrived on scene they found one man with a stab wound to the chest, Major Brian Johns commander of the investigations unit at Dayton Police Department said.

Johns said the victim, identified by Montgomery County Coroner’s office as Samuel Osborne, 40, of Springboro, later died at the hospital.
The suspect, who Johns said was 21 years old, was still on the scene when police arrived and arrested.
Bridges is being held in Montgomery County jail on a $1 million bond.
Bridges is scheduled to be arraigned Aug. 25.
Johns said while police do not know what exactly the argument was over, police believe that the victim was visiting Bridge’s mother who lived at the house on Chelsea Avenue.
Johns said police are aware of ongoing arguments about the victim visiting Bridge’s mother.
