Deandre Hampton-Thomas was 26 when he was fatally shot outside the Dearborn Market in the 600 block of Dearborn Avenue in Dayton, Ohio, on September 13, 2017, around 3:00 PM. Dayton police officers heard gunfire and observed a person pointing a weapon and fleeing; medics performed life-saving measures but Deandre was pronounced dead shortly afterward.

The investigation identified Taevian Harris, who was arrested and later sentenced to 20 years in prison for Deandre’s murder. Harris was also found guilty of firing at police officers during an attempted escape. Deandre was remembered by family and the community as a father to three sons — DeAndre Jr., DreVeon, and Dreiden — and his funeral was held at Harvest Grove Missionary Baptist Church in Dayton.

What information can anyone share about Deandre’s life or the neighborhood around Dearborn Avenue in 2017?
