Toby Thomas, 44, of Dayton, Ohio, was shot multiple times during an attempted robbery in the early hours of August 20, 2019, on Woodman Drive and later died at Miami Valley Hospital. According to the investigation, Thomas was complying with the robbers’ demands when a witness saw two men; one spoke to Thomas while holding a bag, Thomas dropped the bag and ran, and one of the men shot him as he fled. A woman who had been present escaped unharmed.
Dayton resident Jeremiah Keith, 31, was later indicted on multiple charges tied to the incident: four counts of murder, two counts of aggravated robbery, three counts of felonious assault, and two counts of having weapons under disability. Keith was arrested, held without bond, and arraigned in September 2019. Thomas is survived by his mother Patricia A. Davis, his sister Sharita Cospy, and his sons Deshawn Thomas, Davion Carlton, and Ronald Bell.
