On January 4, 2022, 62-year-old Darryl Dean of Dayton, Ohio, was shot and killed in the 600 block of Randolph Street during an exchange of gunfire that began inside an apartment. The disturbance started when Darryl Fitzgerald Cleary, 57, and Derek Edwards Shaw, 54, were involved in a physical fight with 29-year-old Marty Powers over a gun. Cleary says Powers struck him, they struggled for the firearm, and Cleary shot Powers as he ran away.

As that unfolded, Dean was standing at the bottom of a stairwell and tried to leave the building. Shaw, who lived in the apartment, came out and began shooting. Dean ran from his vehicle, was chased down by Shaw, and was shot in the back of the neck, dying at the scene. Shaw also is accused of shooting and wounding another man inside the apartment. Investigators say the incident stemmed from a dispute over money and property. Both Cleary and Shaw were charged in connection with Dean’s death.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see the events on Randolph Street that afternoon or have information about the dispute that led to the shooting?
