Dontay Alston, 45, was one of three men found shot to death inside a house in the 2600 block of North Gettysburg Avenue in Dayton on November 24, 2020. Police later described the incident as a targeted attack tied to a robbery connected to a drug deal.

Investigators arrested Octavius Lamont Humphrey Sr., 41, of Trotwood on suspicion of murder, tampering with evidence, and having weapons while under disability. Authorities reported finding a large amount of marijuana and other items at Humphrey’s residence that linked him to the scene. The other two victims were identified as Michael A. Jackson and Justin Wilson.

The killings devastated the victims’ families and raised questions about the role of drug-related transactions in the violence. If anyone has information about the shootings or the events leading up to November 24, 2020, please come forward to investigators.
