George Thomas Smith Jr, 45, of Dayton, Ohio, was shot in the back of the head on Gerhard Street on July 26, 2021, and died of his injuries after being transported to hospital on August 10, 2021. Surveillance video reportedly shows a vehicle arriving, the driver exiting and shooting Smith at point-blank range before fleeing in the same vehicle.

The Montgomery County Grand Jury indicted 63-year-old Raymond Walters on multiple counts tied to the killing: three counts of murder, three counts of felonious assault, improper discharge of a firearm at or into a habitation, discharge of a firearm on or near prohibited premises, having weapons while under disability, plus firearm specifications and a repeat violent offender specification based on previous convictions dating to 1976, 1980 and 2005. Walters was held in the Montgomery County Jail on $500,000 bond.

Few other details about motive or circumstances are provided. Does anyone have information about Smith’s movements that day or who might have seen the vehicle on Gerhard Street?
