Carl Lucas Cheez Talley was 33 when he was shot to death on July 20, 2015 in Dayton. He was working on a car early that morning when he was struck multiple times; the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office ruled the death a homicide from multiple gunshot wounds.

Trotwood police identified Toby Lamb, a childhood friend who had recently argued with Talley over money, as a person of interest. Lamb was arrested on an unrelated driving under suspension charge and released on bail; he has not been charged in Talley’s murder.

Family and friends held a vigil for Talley; his mother, Sonya Blackmon, described him as a happy person who did no wrong to anyone. If anyone has information about what happened that morning, contact the investigators handling the case. Could someone who knew Talley or the people around him help fill in what happened that day?
