Charles McDonald Jr., 23, of Dayton, Ohio, was shot and killed on February 27, 2017. The fatal shooting occurred about 12:30 p.m. in an apartment on Autumn Woods Drive in Trotwood, Ohio, after police and paramedics responded to reports of multiple shots fired. Two children under the age of 2 were in the apartment at the time.

Authorities say the shooting arose from an argument over a woman between McDonald and the suspect, Deron Anthony Martin, who fled the scene and was later arrested. Martin was charged with involuntary manslaughter and carrying a concealed weapon. In April 2018 he was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter and carrying a concealed weapon and received consecutive sentences totaling 15 years: 11 years for the manslaughter count, three years for using a firearm, and one year for carrying a concealed weapon.

The death left McDonald’s family and the local community grieving. Does anyone have information about Charles, the apartment on Autumn Woods Drive, or the two young children who were present that day?
