William Sarver, 57, of Dayton, Ohio, was shot and killed on June 6, 2016. Sarver was sitting in a vehicle on Riverview Avenue talking with friends when Deonte Snowden, 36, approached, began yelling and then pulled out a gun, shooting Sarver once in the abdomen. Sarver was taken to a hospital but died from his wounds.

Witnesses called 911 and Snowden fled the scene. He was later indicted on two counts of murder, two counts of felonious assault, one count of bribery and one count of having weapons under disability. Snowden was arrested in October 2016 in Mesa, Arizona, and extradited to Montgomery County; in July 2018 he was found guilty on all charges and sentenced.

The community in Dayton mourned Sarver’s death and the case received substantial local attention. If anyone knew Sarver, was present that night, or has additional information about what happened on Riverview Avenue, please come forward.
