Damarcus Buress, 25, of Dayton, Ohio, was fatally shot on July 7, 2015, inside a car at East Third Street and North Delmar Avenue. The shooting occurred during an attempted robbery in which Buress was targeted for a quarter-ounce of marijuana.

Carlos Craig admitted to shooting Buress and was later sentenced to 18 years to life for murder, aggravated robbery, discharge of a firearm, and felonious assault. Jamar Howard was found guilty of complicity to commit murder and complicity to aggravated robbery and also received an 18 years to life sentence. A third man, Robert Gilmore Jr., was charged with complicity to commit murder and complicity to aggravated robbery but was acquitted of all charges.

The case drew strong community attention as Buress’s family sought justice after his death. Does anyone have information about Buress’s life in Dayton or recall details from the night of July 7, 2015?
