As News Center 7 previously reported, Corbitt was arrested by Dayton Police on Wednesday in connection to a deadly shooting on US 35 on Saturday morning. Jermea Lyle, 26, died as a result of the shooting.
Lyle, her 4-year-old daughter, and the child’s father were in the car when they picked up a person from Dayton International Airport to give them a ride on Saturday morning.
Corbitt allegedly followed the car from the airport to the off-ramp from Interstate 75 to US 35, where police say he fired at least two shots. One bullet went through the vehicle and hit Lyle, who was in the backseat with her daughter.
She was rushed to Miami Valley Hospital where she later died.
Police said on Thursday that the shooting appeared to be the result of “an ongoing dispute our front-seat passenger in that motor vehicle had with a co-worker.”
Corbitt remains booked in the Montgomery County Jail on a $1,000,000 bond. His next court date is scheduled for Oct. 1.
