Trotwood police arrested and questioned Grissom, then 22, following the Aug. 16, 2016, shooting of 32-year-old D’juan Norvell outside the Sesame Club Apartments off West Third Street in Trotwood.

Police said at the time they believed the motive in the shooting was a robbery arising from an illegal drug transaction between Grissom and Norvell. However, Grissom has never been charged in Norvell’s death.

He is scheduled to be arraigned Oct. 25, court records show.
