Javier Harrison was 17 and from Dayton, Ohio when he was fatally shot on August 28, 2019. The shooting occurred in a detached garage on Conner Street in West Dayton after Harrison and a friend, Devin Henderson, reportedly entered what they believed was an abandoned vehicle on the homeowner’s property to smoke marijuana. The homeowner, 63-year-old Victor Santana, opened fire in the garage; both teens were shot and Harrison died from his wounds.

Santana was arrested and charged with multiple counts of murder and felonious assault. At trial, the defense argued Santana acted in self-defense, but the jury rejected that claim and found him guilty of the murders of Javier Harrison and Devin Henderson. Javier’s father said the verdict brought some relief and a sense of justice, though it could not undo the loss.

Are there details about the property, the garage, or the events that evening that anyone in the Dayton area can help clarify?
