Police arrested Barker a month later.
In court, Dayton Homicide Detective Angela Woodie told jurors that they painstakingly gathered video and picture evidence along with witness statements.
The detective said all the information led to Barker.
“Discovered he had a car registered to him that happened to be a Silver Audi and that he lived at an address, 517 Windham, that was close in proximity where the shooting occurred,” Woodie said.
Prosecutors showed the jury several videos from nearby businesses that showed what they claim is Barker’s car going back and forth to the bar in the minutes before the deadly shooting.
A sentencing date has not yet been announced.
