Robert L. Hildebrand, 47, of Dayton, Ohio, was shot on June 13, 2016, in the 300 block of North Smithville Road and died en route to the hospital. He worked as a caretaker at Lakewoods Apartments and was described as well-liked and dedicated to his job. Hildebrand was born October 24, 1968.

The shooter was identified as 52-year-old Jason Shontee, a homeless man who had been stashing stolen items in the building Hildebrand managed. Reports say Shontee was locked out of the property, produced a gun and shot Hildebrand. Hildebrand had previously reported Shontee’s threatening behavior to authorities on two occasions.

Shontee was indicted on counts including murder, felonious assault and having weapons while under disability and held on a $1 million bond. Does anyone have memories of Hildebrand or information about the area around North Smithville Road that could add context to this case?
