Tayisha Gibson, 24, of Dayton, Ohio, was found dead in an upstairs bedroom at the Meadowlark Apartments in Trotwood on April 10, 2016, around 3:30 a.m. Responding crews initially had a report of a man bleeding from a gunshot wound, but emergency personnel discovered Tayisha already deceased when they arrived.

Authorities determined her death resulted from a domestic violence incident. John Bailey, 22, identified as an ex-boyfriend, was arrested at the scene and later indicted on multiple counts including murder, felonious assault, and having weapons while under disability. Court proceedings resulted in convictions for involuntary manslaughter, felonious assault, and tampering with evidence, and a 28-year prison sentence for the death of Tayisha and the shooting of a second person who had been at the apartment.

Tayisha’s death underscores the lethal consequences of domestic violence. If anyone knew her or has information about what happened that night, please share what you remember.
