Dillon Ward was 25 when he was shot dead behind a barber shop on Ravenwood Avenue near Salem Avenue in Dayton on August 12, 2016. Known as Little Dil, he grew up in Dayton, graduated from Dayton Business Technology High School, and worked around the city from his teens. Witnesses reported hearing six shots; a grey Chevrolet Monte Carlo was seen fleeing the parking lot and Dillon was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Montgomery County Coroner identified him and the Dayton Police questioned three males who turned themselves in nearby, but no arrests were announced immediately after the shooting. His family held a funeral on August 20, 2016, and the community mourned his death.

If anyone has information about the shooting or the vehicle seen leaving that night, please share it with investigators.
